This volume examines the intersection of nineteenth-century photographic technology and the rise of spiritualism, tracing the visual history of ectoplasm, levitations, and apparitions. Through a scholarly analysis of spirit photography, the authors explore how the camera was utilized as a tool to document the unseen, bridging the gap between scientific inquiry and occult belief.
