Exposes Feats Fraud Investigator Marriott Medium Mediumship Polish Stanislawa Tomczyk Fooled Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1910, British magician and paranormal investigator William S. Marriott is seen demonstrating how Polish medium Stanislawa Tomczyk's alleged psychokinetic feats might have been achieved through trickery. The image captures a moment of intense scrutiny as Marriott examines one of Tomczyk's objects, likely a spoon, which she had claimed to levitate with her mind. Marriott, known for his skepticism towards spiritualist claims, had been invited to observe Tomczyk's séances by investigator Ochorowicz, who had been impressed by her apparent abilities. However, Marriott soon suspected that Tomczyk was using hidden wires or other forms of deception to produce the phenomena. In this image, Marriott is revealing the possible means by which Tomczyk might have fooled Ochorowicz and others. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century paranormal investigation, where skepticism and belief coexisted in a complex dance of discovery and deception.
