EDITORS COMMENTS
This undated photograph captures Ethel Beenham, a key figure in the investigations into the mediumship of Helen Duncan and Esson Maule, demonstrating the ease with which a six-foot length of 30-inch wide cheesecloth could be rolled up and concealed in her mouth. The image is part of Harry Price's extensive collection of evidence documenting his investigations into spiritualism and mediumship in the early 20th century. Price, a renowned psychical researcher, was particularly interested in the mediumship of Helen Duncan, who claimed to communicate with the dead during séances. However, his investigations led him to suspect that her phenomena were fraudulent. In this photograph, Ethel Beenham, who was reportedly involved with Helen Duncan and Esson Maule, demonstrates how the large piece of cheesecloth could be manipulated and hidden in her mouth, suggesting that it may have been used as a means to produce apparent supernatural phenomena during séances. The photograph is an intriguing piece of historical evidence, shedding light on the methods used to investigate claims of mediumship and the lengths some individuals went to in order to perpetrate fraud. The image is part of the Harry Price Collection held at the National Archives (HPG/1/4/3) and provides a fascinating insight into the world of spiritualism and paranormal investigations during this period. It is important to note that this photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes and is protected by copyright. The image is a testament to the importance of critical thinking and scientific inquiry in understanding phenomena that appear to defy explanation.
