Photography And The Occult

Considering the release date of this video, I thought I'd cover a topic appropriate for the season - Photography and the Occult. There was an extreme period of occult photography that was produced from the 1870's to about the 1930's. Gimmicks and techniques were used into fooling people that the supernatural was somehow being photographed (quite consistently I might add). This period of history can typically be organized into 3 categories: Photography of Spirits, Photography of Fluids and Photography of Mediums. In this video we will have a look at the occult and how photography played a roll in the theater of the supernatural.
