EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Eleonore Zugun, a renowned medium and subject of intense scientific investigation, is captured outside the National Laboratory of Psychical Research in South Kensington, London. The date is September-October 1926. The full-length image shows Zugun standing on the stairs of Queensbury Place, her expression thoughtful and determined as she holds a small dog in her arms. At the time, Zugun was undergoing rigorous testing at the laboratory, which was dedicated to the scientific study of psychic phenomena. The investigation into her abilities was being led by prominent parapsychologists of the day, including S.G. Soal and Charles Richet. The laboratory's researchers were seeking to establish the validity of Zugun's mediumistic gifts, particularly her ability to produce materializations and levitations. The presence of the dog in the photograph adds an intriguing layer to the scene. It is not clear if the animal was a companion of Zugun's or if it played a role in the investigation itself. Some reports suggest that the dog was used as a mediumistic focus, with Zugun claiming that it could levitate or materialize spirits. Despite the intense scrutiny of the scientific community, the results of the investigation were inconclusive. Some researchers reported observing phenomena that could not be explained by natural means, while others remained skeptical. Regardless of the outcome, this photograph captures an intriguing moment in the history of psychical research, with Zugun standing at the threshold of the laboratory, poised to enter the unknown. This photograph is part of the extensive archive of the Mary Evans Picture Library, which holds a wealth of historical images and prints. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of psychical research in the early 20th century and the intriguing figure of Eleonore Zugun.
