EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Esson Maude, a prominent figure in the investigation of Scottish medium Helen Duncan, recreating the seance room where the infamous sitting took place in Edinburgh during January 1933. The image is part of a series documenting Harry Price's investigations into Duncan's mediumship, which ultimately led to her exposure as a fraud. Price, a renowned psychical researcher, was skeptical of Duncan's supposed supernatural abilities and enlisted the help of Maude and other investigators to uncover the truth behind her mediumistic phenomena. In this photograph, Maude is seen sitting in the very spot where Duncan had conducted her séances, surrounded by the same furniture and decor. The back of the print features handwritten notes from Maude, detailing the specifics of the investigation and the conditions under which the photograph was taken. These notes provide valuable context for understanding the historical significance of this photograph and the larger story of Price's investigation into Helen Duncan's mediumship. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century spiritualism and the methods used by skeptics to expose alleged frauds. It serves as an important reminder of the scientific inquiry and critical thinking that underpinned the study of paranormal phenomena during this period, and the role that investigators like Harry Price and Esson Maude played in shaping our understanding of the supernatural.
