EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the infra-red "cage" used during the groundbreaking investigations into the mediumistic abilities of the Schneider brothers, Rudi and Willi, at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research in 1932. The brothers, originally from Austria, were subjects of intense scrutiny by paranormal researchers, including Harry Price, a renowned investigator and skeptic. Price, a fellow of the Society for Psychical Research, was known for his rigorous approach to the study of the paranormal. In this experiment, Price employed a series of tests to examine the brothers' alleged mediumistic abilities, including the use of the infra-red "cage." The cage was designed to prevent any external influences or deception during the séance, as it shielded the sitters from the outside world and limited their access to physical objects. The photograph provides a glimpse into the historical context of parapsychological research during this period. The curtain in the background and the basket on the table are remnants of the traditional séance setup, while the infra-red technology represents the more scientific and objective approach that Price and other researchers were beginning to adopt. This image is a testament to the rich history of paranormal investigations and the ongoing quest to understand the unexplained phenomena that continue to intrigue and challenge our understanding of the world around us. The National Laboratory of Psychical Research, and investigators like Harry Price, played a pivotal role in shaping the field of parapsychology and pushing the boundaries of scientific inquiry.
