EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length photograph depicts the renowned paranormal investigator, Harry Price, in the midst of an experiment at his laboratory in 1930. Seated at an electrical control panel, Price demonstrates the setup under which Rudi Schneider, an individual believed to possess psychic abilities, was previously tested. The investigator wears metallic gloves and socks, ensuring firm contact with the control surface, which in turn activates six control lamps. The sepia-toned image adds an air of mystique and intrigue to the scene. Harry Price (1881-1948) was a prominent figure in the field of parapsychology and spiritualism during the early 20th century. Known for his skeptical yet open-minded approach to the supernatural, Price conducted numerous investigations into psychic phenomena, seeking to debunk fraudulent claims while also providing evidence for genuine paranormal occurrences. In this photograph, Price's intense focus and serious expression convey the importance and gravity of his work. The presence of the control panel and the metallic gloves and socks suggest that this experiment involved the use of electrical currents or other forms of scientific measurement to investigate Schneider's alleged psychic abilities. The sepia tone further emphasizes the historical significance of the moment, transporting us back to a time when the boundaries between science and the supernatural were being explored and challenged. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the intrigue and fascination that surrounded parapsychology and spiritualism during the early 20th century, as well as the dedicated work of investigators like Harry Price who sought to uncover the truth behind these phenomena.
