EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1911, Mary Todd Lincoln, the beloved wife of the 16th President of the United States, is seen in the company of an ethereal figure, believed to be the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. The image was captured during a seance held at the home of medium Leonora Piper, who was renowned for her ability to communicate with the deceased. The photograph, published in James Coates and Fowler's book "Photographing the Invisible: Practical Studies in Supernormal Photography," is one of many that documented the couple's apparent encounters with the spirit world. The atmosphere in the room is heavy with anticipation and a sense of otherworldliness. Mary, dressed in a dark mourning gown, sits with her hands folded in her lap, her expression somber and contemplative. Behind her, the figure of Abraham Lincoln materializes, his form hazy and translucent, a spectre of the man he once was. His eyes are closed, and his expression is serene, as if in a deep state of rest. The photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate and intrigue, offering a glimpse into the world of the paranormal and the belief in life after death. The image of Mrs. Lincoln and the spirit of Abraham Lincoln is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the couple, even in death. The photograph's spooky, scary, and creepy atmosphere adds to the allure of the paranormal and the unexplained, making it a fascinating study in the realm of the supernatural.
