An Expression of Opinion from LADY GREY OF FALLODEN
I am perfectly ready to adhere to my conviction that I have obtained
evidence of supernormal activities through the mediumship of the Crewe
Circle, and this I would maintain however conclusively they may have been
convicted of fraud on other occasions.

The Evidence of H. BLACKWELL, ESQ., A VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE S.S.S.P.
(_Mr. Blackwell is one of the pioneers in the history
of psychic photography. His experiences have been quite
exceptional. This description tells how he secured a photograph
of a recently deceased sister._)
With great pleasure I give my experience of the good work done through
the Crewe mediums. In April, 1920, having fixed an appointment with
Mr. Hope for a certain hour at the B.C.P.S., I was there to time with
an unopened box of plates. Of the four plates exposed I found upon
development that only two had any psychic results.
These appeared to consist of several faint faces merging one into the
other. From the wet negatives I could not recognise any of the features,
so asked for prints to be sent on in due course.
When the prints came to hand I was delighted to recognise the face of my
sister, but repeated five times, as if in her agitation she could not
concentrate sufficiently and had moved during the exposure.
She appeared as in her final illness two years previously, when I had
gone down into the country to bid “good-bye.”
As a testimony to the value of psychic photography I may mention that
through the mediumship of Mr. R. Boursnell, in London, and of Mr. W.
M. Keeler, in Washington, I have received portraits of my grandfather,
mother, two sisters and several of my nieces. A number of friends have
also been taken in London after promises given in Canada and elsewhere.
About twelve years ago, thanks to a personal friend who then possessed
wonderful materialising power, I was enabled to obtain, using four
cameras simultaneously, excellent photographs of my father, mother, niece
and several friends. They manifested for the express purpose of being
taken, and in each instance the medium shows by the side of the spirit
visitor. The experiments were conducted in my house and in presence of
witnesses.
