PROFESSOR GUSTAVE GELEY










 



PHOTOGRAPH 1




Here we see a photograph of a cast in plaster of a pair of materialised hands, from the paraffin wax  "glove".

They were produced in the laboratory of the International Metapsychic Institute (Paris).  The dark spots are defects in the plaster probably due  (as in other cases) to crumbs of the blue colouring matter used to dye the paraffin.

Stanley de Brath, fellow psychical investigator with  Dr. Gustave Geley, argues in his book Psychical Research, Science and Religion that experiments with hollow moulds of hands and feet, taken in paraffin wax, are among the most undeniable proofs of the reality of materialisation.

Merging between  Prof. Geley (left) and Stanely De Brath (right) is a case of direct-writing produced on the negative.

None of the mediums were, of course, permitted to touch the plates (which were specially marked and sealed by the Imperial Dry Plate Company) in any way, or to take part in the manipulation, which was done entirely by Stanley De Brath
 









PHOTOGRAPH 3




The portrait of a lady can be seen overshadowing  Prof. Geley  (left).  She was identified as an associate of Stanley De Brath and his wife for seventeen years, who had been deceased for six years at the time the photograph was taken.

In his book Psychical Research, Science and Religion, Stanely De Brath says,  "This photograph did not reproduce any existing photograph but was instantly recognised by five persons who had known her well, including her own brother, a non-spiritualist and skeptically disposed".

De Brath also says,  "I certify that this photograph was taken at Crewe by Mr Hope (medium),  Nov 1919, on plates bought in London same day, opened by me and signed, not lost sight of during the whole process.  Recognised by the lady's brother (non-spiritualist) and by three intimate friends.  She  "died" Aug, 1913.  There is no similar portrait extant.  S. De Brath. M.Inst.C.E"

PHOTOGRAPH 4B




The top photograph, was taken at the British College of Psychic Science,  July 24th 1924, on a plate marked and sealed by the Imperial Dry Plate Company.

It shows the image of a suspended face above the head of  Stanley De Brath. Notice also the ectoplasmic connection  between the three people.

The photograph below is an enlargement of the above photograph, which has been tilted approximately 60 degrees to the left.

The suspended image you can see towards the upper left hand corner of the photograph is the face of  Dr. Geley, who was killed in a aeroplane crash in Warsaw, July 15th 1924.
