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
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.
