I don't have the original,only Harry Price had that.
The following is the closest I can get to the original.Note that the 'ectoplasm is not coming out of her nose,where it should be,but has obviously been planted on. True ectoplasm is misty. My Dad too, would have laughed in their faces,but as I said earlier,the image you see here is not the image seen at the seance. _________________ Remember words spoken complaining may blight every effort and plan,

Lilly,
thankyou for posting the pictures, and thankyou for telling us this story.
Hopefully we can bring a few things to light.
I am at the current conclusion that the photo's were faked by an outside party. Let's see what we can find out?

This thread is becoming more intiuging by the day.
The great thing is that these people, Price and Duncan etc are Oh so human.
As someone said a fraud investigating a fraud.
I don't hold with that myself, because I simply don't know, but when you have a person of experience like Lilly stating that the ectoplasm photo's were faked by price then it adds another dimension to the whole thing.
Lilly may I ask you if you have any friends or aquaintances with experience of the Duncan/ Price era. _________________ Please visit our main site |

I see there is no mention of Price or the photo's on the official website.
Reading it though, Duncan's campaigners solely point the finger at the government and that D-Day was looming. Interesting though that Churchill beleived her?  |

Churchill was a great believer in the paranormal. Apparently he regularly had Mediums visit Downing Street.
The flunkey's worked tirelessly to keep it all from the press. |

Two things.
These séances were supposed to have taken place in a dim light yet the pictures look bright. So someone must have done something to them I should think.
I saw mention on another site that Churchill in fact used Helen Duncan as a medium himself.
If I were prime minister and had a genuine soothsayer available I wouldn't lock her up I would see what information I could get toward the war effort. _________________ Please visit our main site |

Alas, David,they have all passed on,as my parents and their friends were born in 1906/8 years . Helen did quite a few seances at Ventnor spiritualist church and they named one of their rooms after her.
I will write to Irene Sowter,and see if she knows anything. _________________ Remember words spoken complaining may blight every effort and plan,

May be, but I don't think any medium would want a flash going off during a sitting.
No more than any stage performer would want flashing lights in their eyes when they are on stage. _________________ Please visit our main site |

That must be next weeks lesson.  |

Psychics, Mediums and Fortune Tellers have been used by Kings, Queens, Prime Ministers, Presidents and all manner of leaders forever and probably up until the present day.
As I've said before, most people believe, but most would never admit it. |

For my part and being totally honest I wouldn't trust any psychic input if it meant basing my life and that of others on it.
But I guess that's just me. _________________ Please visit our main site |

And only a fool would...
But why is it such a strange thing to think a leader wouldn't want that extra element when having to make such important decisions? |

Well the Germans must have had some very dodgey psychics.
Far viewing by government agencies to spy on other nations is a documented fact.
So yes leaders would and do use everything at their disposal.
But we all know how iffy the input can be. _________________ Please visit our main site |

When these photos were taken, the medium wore a blindfold.
(The blindfold is to minimise the shock which the flashlight could cause to the eyes of the medium, who is extremely sensitive during this stage of the phenomena.).
Besides,Mrs. Duncan was in trance and knew nothing of the things going on around her. _________________ Remember words spoken complaining may blight every effort and plan,

Helen Duncan always stated firmly that she did not make predictions,only brought through spirits who had passed on. _________________ Remember words spoken complaining may blight every effort and plan,

My parents who were spiritualists and the first members of the Essex Healers' Association ..attended seances given by Helen Duncan, they were not personally involved with her. _________________ Remember words spoken complaining may blight every effort and plan,
