I was very interested that Conan Doyle turned to spiritualism during very trying periods in his life that were filled with loss and mourning. So it did not surprise me to see that people hoped "..the Medium could call the Spirits of loved ones in to sit for a picutre." But did people REALLY believe it?
I will link your spirit photo to mine, with thanks.
Great post you did. I had a friend (haven't seen him for years) who was a Medium and he still believes it all. The Cottingley Fairies was a great example of self-deception on Doyle's part.
