Man with the spirit of his deceased second wife.

A woman's face appears in 'misty' drapes around the man. He was said to have been asked to sit for a photograph by a voice heard at a seance held on 6 May 1923. This man had also identified the 'spirit' of his deceased first wife in an earlier photograph.

This collection of pictures is from the Science and Society Picture Library. I stumbled across them whilst hunting for pictures from flickr. Aren't they so beautifully chilling?

Man with the spirit of his deceased first wife.

A woman's face appears in a 'misty' cloud to the right of the man - identified as that of his deceased first wife. Hope may have already held her photograph in his studio, or he may have asked the man to supply her photograph under the pretence of using the image to contact the spirit world.
