It is a fascinating account of the author's investigation into the world of spirit photography, a popular phenomenon at the time. The book explores the claims of various photographers who claimed to be able to capture images of the deceased, and the methods they used to do so.Abbott's investigation takes him from New York to London, where he meets with some of the most famous spirit photographers of the day. He examines their techniques, their equipment, and their claims, and ultimately comes to the conclusion that the photographs are fraudulent.The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century spiritualism, and the debates and controversies that surrounded it.
