Reproductions, both of the original and of the copy, will be
found in Professor Henslow's book.
I have myself been to Crewe and have had results which would
be amazing were it not that familiarity blunts the mind to
miracles. Three marked plates brought by myself, and handled,
developed and fixed by no hand but mine, gave psychic extras. In
each case I saw the extra in the negative when it was still wet
in the dark room. I reproduce in Plate I a specimen of the
results, which is enough in itself to prove the whole case of
survival to any reasonable mind. The three sitters are Mr.
Oaten, Mr. Walker, and myself, I being obscured by the psychic
cloud. In this cloud appears a message of welcome to me from the
late Archdeacon Colley. A specimen of the Archdeacon's own
handwriting is reproduced in Plate II for the purpose of
comparison. Behind, there is an attempt at materialisation
obscured by the cloud. The mark on the side of the plate is my
identification mark. I trust that I make it clear that no hand
but mine ever touched this plate, nor did I ever lose sight of it
for a second save when it was in the carrier, which was conveyed
straight back to the dark room and there opened. What has any
critic to say to that?
By the kindness of those fearless pioneers of the movement,
Mr. and Mrs. Hewat Mackenzie, I am allowed to publish another
example of spirit photography. The circumstances were very
remarkable.
