Believers Are Conservative

The members Of Miss Stead's circle are pro-
fess onal, business and wealthy folk who will give
Won sincere and very convincing testimony to the
truth Of their statements that ghosts are ghosts
and can and Go make themselves visible and com
rnunicative at the proper time and place. What
they have done they'll inform you, is merely to
give their ineorporeal friends the proper place
and appointed times when they may 50 manifest
themselves They speak Of the coming visit to
headquarters OF this or that ghost in the tone of
voice that one who doesn't believe in spirits might
announce the coming Of a cousin by marriage
They become wroth only when double exposure"
or double negatives is suggested as an explana-
ton Of the weird spirit photographs, two of
which are printed on this page.
But, as the spirit photograph at the top of
this page bears witness, belief in ghosts has al
most as much strength here as in England
MANY OF the most conservative thinkers and per
sons known as unbelievers have been convinced
that there is something to IT." Among those
are the witnesses TO the taking Of the fore
mentioned spirit photograph" of the late Prof
Hvslop produced IN the course Of an investga-
ton conducted by DR.. Walter F. Prince, Chief
Investigator Of the Psychical Research Society.
When they exhibit this photograph they will
remind you. with a pardonable ring Of triumph in
their voices, that Prof Hyslop is the same Dsy-
chOlorist and spirituallst who promised he would
return after death and disclose himself to those
who have faith They viii also recall to your
mind the report that week after his death he
appeared at a banquet held in his honor and gave
an automatic message through one Of the psychic
guests
The circumstances attendant on the spirit
photograph of the late professor are enough TO
give even the most increduous pause Ii was

cry will be eliminated.
Unlike the great majority Of those who are
enthusiastic in the postwar psychic-ph phenomena,
Miss Stead and her late father entertained ghosts
long before the death Of millions IN the war
accelerated the spiritst movement to its present
unprecedented popularity. She says she has re-
ceived numerous visits from the other side.

4 CCORDING to the dictionary, a haunted

from the world OF spirits. In the popular
imagination il is a ramshacle wooden structure,
shrinking behind dusty hedge-rows, with broken
windows invaded by the branches of trees through
the tops Of which the wind soughs in melancholy
manner. a dilapidated brick structure, stern
and forbidding, with cold marble floors and metal

when the spirit photographer snapped him.
This library also has been turned over to the
