Llifs – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the fingerprints of the ghost

“The things that, in the old days, were called miracles, or the results of miracles. Miracle, now, always, they are simply storming some natural power that we do not understand yet. For this reason, it is not correct to use words” supernatural “or” we demand “, and” we demand. “Here before we can explain their reasons precisely.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the famous writer of the famous Sherlock Holmes series. He was also a very well -known spiritual spent on his life in an attempt to tell the world that ghosts and lives were not only present, but had evidence to prove this. To read more about Doyle and his participation in spirituality, check my article Spirituality and Mr. Arthur Conan Doyle. Dowle is still one of the most controversial characters in the spirit of spirituality, that is, because of his willingness to believe those who were wandering in fraud. It was true in nature with a great heart and a strong belief in spirituality. It was this blind belief that caused a lot of irony and even the fall with the famous magician and former friend Harry Hodini.

In 1925, Dowle and his wife, The Psychic Bookshop, opened a brick store and mortar shell that was a book store, library, museum and book publishing company based in London. Below is the title of an article published in various publications, where the state of journalists takes a tour that explains to them the amazing evidence he was presenting in his psychological museum. Some of his most expensive stances were from the hands of the soul and the fingerprints of the spiritual fingers.

In the article above, Dowle presented a photo board with what the writer described as Bassem Scatter. On the wax, it was apparently the impressions of fingerprints. To collect these prints, Doyle said that the painting was hung on a broker during a fall under a red light. Doyle claimed that the spiritualists were able to better communicate with ghosts using red light. Leave the soul to leave their mark on the painting. After the sound of rap music, they quickly found that the soul had left behind the fingerprints. Then Doyle had that the means cast their fingerprints so that it could be proven that the soul and the middle fingerprints were not matching. The paintings were displayed in the Doyle Psychological Museum, which was on the basement of its psychological library.

Soul hands

Fint fingerprints were not all of the doyle experience. He was proudly displayed in his museum. In his book The History of Spirituality Volume 2, Dowle talks about throwing the faces of the soul and parts of the body such as fingers and hands. External hand, they were enthusiastic. Even his best friend, Mr. Harry Hodini, claimed that he could not re -create the process.

It seems that the first to explore this line of research was William Denton, the author of the book “The Secrets of Nature”, a book on psychological measurement, which was published in 1863. In fact, Denton presented a general demonstration in Payne Hall, when the spiritual face team was said to have been produced in dissolved paraffin. Other means obtained from these actors were Mrs. Ferman, Dr. Monk, Miss Virlamb (then Mrs. Mellon), and William Eaglementon. The fact that these results were confirmed by the subsequent Paris sessions are a strong argument for their goodness. Mr. William Oxley, from Manchester, describes how a beautiful template was obtained from the lady’s hand, and how a template was found from Mrs. Ferman. On this occasion, Mrs. Ferman was confined to a clear lace bag that passed her head and was installed around the waist, and she attached her hands and arms. This seems to be the final regarding any fraud on the side of the means, while it was also recorded that the wax template was warm, which indicates that it could not have been brought into the Séance room. It is difficult to know the additional precautions that could have been taken to ensure the result. On a second occasion, a template was obtained from the foot in addition to the hand, where the wrist and ankle holes were so narrow that it was not possible to pull the tip. It seems that there was no open explanation that the hand or foot has been ignored.

The results of Dr. Monk also seem to be in the criticism test. Try Oxley with him in Manchester in 1876, and achieved the same success as Mrs. Ferman. On this occasion, different molds were obtained from two separate people. “It is not possible to exaggerate the importance and value of these spiritual molds, because while the relationship of the spiritual phenomena of others is a questionable role and skepticism is only value on the basis of credibility, the crew of these hands and feet are permanent facts and patents, and now it is required by science men, artists, a solution of mysterious production,” Oxley says of these experiences. This request still requires. One of them has tried famous, Hoodini, and a great anatomical scientist, Sir Arthur Keith, their hands, and the results, which were produced hard, were only working to highlight the unique character they tried to copy.

Of course, Hoodini will differ with allegations, especially those who say the wrist was very narrow and thus proved to be a soul.

Power?

In the development, in the same year that passed away, it was published that our favorite spiritual ghost is supposed to leave behind a group of his fingerprints. In 1923, he expected that no one believed that this phenomenon after years, Dowle stopped from the police headquarters, where the police prepared copies of his fingerprints to compare it, if his soul was successful after years in an attempt to get to know himself. Years later in 1930, the police headquarters itself was invited to compare Dole’s fingerprints with a wax plate that is supposed to contain the fingerprints left by the soul of Duwael. The accusation was the Nino Picooro medium, which was often attended SEANIS with Conan Doyle. It was PECORARO who claimed that he had contacted the soul of Dowle during a process in which he imagined behind it.

“In SEANCE PECORARO was binding, wore gloves, and put in a mesh bag.” The spirit of “Arthur Sir Arthur spoke from a wardrobe, and it seems that his photo has been released, in addition to placing his fingers on the wax, picked a pencil and wrote on a piece of paper.”

August 20, 1930 The Telegraph

The judgment was Joseph Denger – the Science Investigation Committee for Psychological Phenomena, Serge Joseph, Rin and Madeq William Hunt. The latter is the fingerprint expert. Watching the referee was also medium Pecoraaro. He had a special interest in the ruling, as there would be a prize of $ 21,000, which the Scientific Investigation Committee pledged to pay any person who was able to offer evidence of evidence Psychological phenomena that cannot be explained. Experts eventually decided that the impression of the fingerprints on the wax that he left from SEANCE was so unclear that it could not be compared to the original. In fact, Dunniger continued, saying they predicted this way before fingerprints were thrown through SEANCE, and that these types of allegations will appear.

Doyle seems to have never deceived people, but his pagan nature had a lot of questioning how easy he believed to deceive him. Was the spiritual hands and fingerprints a state of supernatural evidence or blind belief? Perhaps in a strong contradiction with the quote that opened this article, I will leave some words from Frenemy Houdini.

“I beg you, sir Arthur, do not jump to the conclusion that some of the things you see necessarily” are supernatural “, or the work of” souls “, just because you cannot explain it.” Harry Hodini
