SPIRITS OF THE DEAD
"This grave is in Middleham Cemetery in Manchester.
A gentleman who had lost his wife went into a Spiritualist
Church and asked to see a medium.
A private sitting was
arranged and all the medium could get for him was "go
and photograph the grave". He did so and this is the
result. The medium was not aware, of course, that his wife
and baby had died.
The sitter did not in fact know his wife
was pregnant."
- Vi Kipling
These images of spirits and ghosts are from a lost Spiritualist
archive of original glass plate photographs. The history
of some of these remarkable spirit manifestations has been
lost.
