I love a good mystery and this one was particularly challenging to follow the threads of it. The more I learned about it, the more i wanted to share this story and mystery out to the world. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?

Thanks to photoshop, the only limit on how we can mess with pictures is our imagination. But back in the 19th century, William H. Mumler began capturing people in his family portraits that had never been inside his studio - at least not while they were alive.

O fascínio humano pelo paranormal atravessa gerações e se manifesta de diferentes maneiras, e os vídeos de fantasmas são uma das expressões mais recentes desse interesse. Desde o século XIX, quando fotógrafos como William H. Mumler criaram as primeiras "fotos de espíritos", a busca por capturar evidências visuais do sobrenatural tornou-se uma prática intrigante.  Naquela época, essas imagens, muitas vezes revelando figuras espectrais ao lado de vivos, alimentavam o imaginário popular e inspiravam o desejo de contato com o além. Embora muitas dessas fotos tenham sido desmentidas como fraudes, o interesse pela documentação visual de aparições continuou a crescer, impulsionando uma cultura visual em torno do desconhecido que segue viva até hoje. Com a popularização das câmeras de segurança e dos smartphones, o registro desses fenômenos se tornou ainda mais acessível e imediato, espalhando imagens inexplicáveis que podem desafiar nossa lógica.  Neste episódio, nossos investigadores Andrei Fernandes, Rafael Jacaúna e Jey Carrillo irão se aprofundar no mistério desses vídeos inclassificáveis e instigantes.  Este episódio é um oferecimento Alura, a maior e mais completa escola de tecnologia do Brasil.

This week it's two terrifying tales about more than meets the eye! First up, Lauren takes you on a ride through the uncanny valley with the “Laff in the Dark” mannequin at the The Pike amusement park. In the early ‘70s, children visiting the boardwalk in Long Beach, California noticed one of the mannequins in the funhouse attraction looked a little…off. But it wasn't until some years later, when a production crew from a popular TV series were shooting in the funhouse in 1976, something more was discovered beneath the surface. How did this grotesque mannequin end up as a set piece in the amusement park ride and where did it come from?! And what was the glow-in-the-dark paint it was covered in actually hiding?! Next, Felicia profiles William H. Mumler - a spirit photographer from the 1800s. People took notice of Mumler's photography when he developed a self-portrait that appeared to feature the ghost of who he claimed was his cousin that had been dead for 12 years! This portrait is believed by many in the paranormal world to be the first spirit photograph ever. But William had both famous clients and famous critics, including infamous flim flam man P.T. Barnum. Listen to hear more about his fascinating work!PS: If you have requests for future episodes or just want to hang out, follow us on Instagram @sinistersisterspodcast

In 1862, William H. Mumler took the first known photograph of a ghost. Maybe. What unfolded over the next two decades was a story of fraud and self-deception... that even spilled over into the criminal courts of New York City.

Spirit photography refers to the practice of capturing images that are believed to depict ghosts, spirits, or other supernatural entities. It gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly during the rise of spiritualism, a movement centered around communicating with the spirits of the deceased.Here are some key points about spirit photography:Origins: Spirit photography emerged during the mid-19th century, with practitioners claiming to capture images of deceased loved ones or spiritual beings using photographic technology. It was seen as a means to provide evidence of an afterlife and communicate with the spirit world.Techniques: Spirit photographers used various techniques to create their images. Some claimed to capture spirits directly on photographic plates or film, while others utilized double exposure, superimposition, or manipulation of the negatives or prints. Critics argue that many spirit photographs were produced through trickery and manipulation rather than genuine supernatural phenomena.Famous Practitioners: One of the most well-known spirit photographers was William H. Mumler, who gained popularity in the 1860s. He claimed to capture spirits alongside living individuals in his photographs. However, Mumler was later exposed as a fraud, and many of his images were revealed to be the result of double exposure techniques.Controversy and Skepticism: Spirit photography has long been met with skepticism and controversy. Many argued that the images were the product of intentional deception or the result of photographic flaws, such as accidental double exposures or light leaks. Critics also questioned the scientific validity of spirit photography and considered it a pseudoscience.Decline and Modern Perspectives: As advancements in photography and the understanding of optics increased, the credibility and popularity of spirit photography declined. Today, spirit photography is generally viewed as a historical curiosity or a subject of interest within the context of spiritualism and the history of photography.While spirit photography has a rich history and cultural significance, it is important to approach such images with a critical mindset. The paranormal claims associated with spirit photography have been widely discredited, and many instances of spirit photographs have been debunked as hoaxes or the result of photographic manipulation techniques.

Discover the legacies of some of the most influential women in the paranormal field. Sharing the stories of over 35 groundbreaking women in a male-dominated field, paranormal researcher Alex Matsuo excavates the buried legacies of women in the paranormal who were often overshadowed and almost forgotten in her book, 'Women of the Paranormal Volume I.' From paranormal investigators to parapsychologists to psychic mediums to cryptozoologists, you'll discover an incredible world where women not only inspired the paranormal world, but set the very foundation for modern-day investigation and psychic practices. My Special Guest is Alex Matsuo Alex Matsuo is a paranormal researcher, social media influencer, and author. She is the founder of the Association of Paranormal Study and runs “The Spooky Stuff.” If it's weird, spooky, unusual, scary, macabre, or haunted, she wants to write and talk about it! Alex was recently seen on the third season of Haunted Hospitals in Episode 12 titled, “It Followed Me Home.” The episode can be seen on Discovery Plus!. She has also been seen on Travel Channel's “Most Terrifying Places in America.” In addition, she is the host of the podcast, The Spooky Stuff. Alex has written several books about the paranormal including, The Hamptonville Hauntings: Ghosts of the Trivette Clinic, One Bed Over: A Hospital Haunting, The Brave Mortal's Guide to Ghost Hunting, The Haunting of the Tenth Avenue Theatre, More than Ghosts: A Guide to Working Residential Cases in the Paranormal Field, and The Haunted Actor. Her latest book, Women of the Paranormal Volume I, is now available. Eleanor Sidgwick Most of Eleanor's writings related to psychical research, and are contained in the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research. Eleanor was highly critical of physical mediumship and in 1886 and 1887 a series of publications by S. J. Davey, Richard Hodgson and Eleanor in the Journal for the Society for Psychical Research exposed the slate writing tricks of the medium William Eglinton. Eleanor regarded Eglinton to be nothing more than a clever conjurer.  In 1891, Alfred Russel Wallace requested for the Society to properly investigate spirit photography. Wallace had endorsed various spirit photographs as genuine. Eleanor responded with her paper On Spirit Photographs (1891) which cast doubt on the subject and revealed the fraudulent methods that spirit photographers such as Frederic Hudson, William H Mumler and Édouard Isidore Buguet had utilised. Aiko Gibo The renowned Japanese psychic, Aiko Gibo, was one of the first to create a ghost hunting segment on TV. She came to visit The Real Mary King's Close while making a film about the haunted places of Britain. When it came to stepping inside a room off Allan's Close, she could barely enter the 17th-century room for the pain and unhappiness she could feel there: ‘I cannot enter this room… it is too strong… there is a child beside me, her little hand is clutching my trouser leg. I… I just cannot go into this room… she was separated from her parents. She wants to go home and see her family… her desire haunts this place very strongly.' In this episode, you will be able to: 1. Delve into some of the lives and legacies of some of the incredible women featured in the book. 2. Discover some of the reasons why these women were overlooked and forgotten. 3. Explore the place women have had in the paranormal field.

Part 2 of the mystery of William H. Mumler. Guest Timothy Donahue, filmmaker and tall former co-host of the deep cable show "Auto/Biography",  strangely stuck around for the conclusion. Tim wears his skeptic hat as Michael introduces him to the story of William H. Mumler, the father of spirit photography and a likely conman. It was in New York City in 1869 when William Mumler was accused of fraud. Mumler was a medium who would take portraits of people, and on their photographs would magically appear ghosts. The practice became known as Spirit Photography. While we might look at Mumler's photographs with a modern eye and clearly see double exposure as a method to create the spirits, no one could figure out how Mumler was pulling off his deceit.  Mumler's case is connected directly to our cultural beliefs and distrust of the media today. And, we still don't know how he did it.   Thank you for listening! Visit www.astrudyofstrange.com for more show notes, resources, and strange info!

Conoce la historia de William H. Mumler, el primero hombre que dijo que retrató a un fantasma y se convirtió así, en el primer defraudador vendiendo este tipo de contenidos.

Die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts ist eine Zeit der großen Veränderungen. Wissenschaft und Forschung lassen zuvor Unmögliches plötzlich in greifbare Nähe rücken und die Menschen sind fasziniert von Fortschritt und Technik. In dieser Zeit stellt sich die Frage, ob der Tod wirklich eine unüberbrückbare Grenze ist. 1862 scheint ein findiger Fotograf hierfür die Antwort liefern zu können. Schwarz auf weiß und für alle sichtbar, scheinen sich die Toten auf William Mumlers Fotographien zu zeigen. Reist mit Katharina und Nina in dieser Folge von „Früher war mehr Verbrechen“ in eine Zeit, in der alles möglich scheint und ergründet, warum nicht einmal eine Anklage wegen Betruges die Gläubigen von William Mumlers Schuld überzeugen kann. **// Kapitel //** - 05:19 – William Mumler und der Geist seiner Cousine - 11:25 – Eine Geschichte der Distanzüberwindung - 19:20 – Ein innovatives Erfolgsrezept - 36:51 – Kleinere Schwierigkeiten… - 39:26 – Ein Neuanfang in New York - 42:58 – Die Polizei tritt auf den Plan - 45:47 – Spiritismus vor Gericht - 51:34 – Williams Leben nach dem Verfahren und die Entstehung seines berühmtesten Fotos - 54:00 – Besprechung des Falles - 1:03:27 – Podcast Empfehlung **// Quellen & Shownotes //** - Manseau, P.; The Apparitionists: A Tale of Phantoms, Fraud, Photography, and the Man Who Captrured Lincoln's Ghost; Boston, New York 2017 - Kaplan, L.; The Strange Case of William Mumler, Spirit Photographer; Minneapolis 2008 - Smithonian Magazin; Meet Mr. Mumler, the Man Who „Captured“ Lincoln's Ghost on Camera; Artikel vom 10.

In 1872, Mary Todd Lincoln (1818-1882) visited the photography studio of one William H. Mumler (1832-1884), who claimed to be able to capture images of deceased loved ones on film. A byproduct of Mrs. Lincoln's spiritualist beliefs, the photograph that today's story centers around offers us a glimpse at the strange practices which Civil War-era Americans would resort to in their efforts to find comfort and solace in the wake of death and tragedy.

In this episode, I bring you two older shows, both from 2015. The shows were a lot shorter back then. The first part is the tale of Elsie Wright, Frances Griffiths, and the Cottingley Fairies. These were photos two young girls took of fairies. The second part is the story of William H. Mumler who took pictures of the ghost of Abraham Lincoln and well as many dead American Civil War soldiers.

It’s episode 84! This week, both Emma’s and Anish’s stories are in betweens (sort of). Emma covers a few stories from the Spiritualist Movement, including the Fox Sisters, Helen Duncan, and William H. Mumler. Anish talks about the strange occurrences at the Andrews Family House, and some grisly events surrounding it. We watched a few things this week, including The Half of It and The Full Monty. Emma started binge watching Netflix’s Hollywood, and Anish watched A Secret Love as well. Also, Emma is continuing her bad movie nights with the absolutely terrible SPF-18.

In the aftermath of the American Civil War there was a sharp rise of interest from Americans interested in communicating with the dead, and the Spiritualism movement grew increasingly popular. This, combined with the new technology of photography, gave rise to a scam called "spirit photography". The main perpetrator of the fraud was William H. Mumler, who convinced many that he could capture images of lost love ones alongside the living in portrait photographs.  Eventually he would face a sensational trial, with even P.T. Barnum testifying against him.  My guest is Peter Manseau, writer and curator of American Religious History at the Smithsonian Institution. His book is called "The Apparitionists: A Tale of Phantoms, Fraud, Photography, and the Man Who Captured Lincoln's Ghost", and he tells the this tale of deception in this latest episode of Most Notorious.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On stage through July 20, "Summerland" is a work of historical fiction based on a real case that involved William H. Mumler – a man who claimed to be able to photograph spirits, and whose clients included First Lady of the United States Mary Todd Lincoln.

It seems only fitting that Episode 13 explores the spirit realm. Meet the Fox sisters, who spawned spiritualism; get acquainted with the dazzling Davenport brothers and their spectacular spirit cabinet; gaze upon a spectral image courtesy of William H. Mumler.
