Skotographsβ from the Greek skotos (βdarknessβ) and graphein (βto writeβ)β are various spirit or psychic pictures and writings that appear on photographic plates or film. The term was proposed by Felicia Scatcherd, a member of the London-based Society for Psychical Research. The skotographic images supposedly appear without the use of ordinary illumination.
The skotographs shown here were produced by Mrs. Madge Donohoe. She was βknown to produce a bewildering variety of skotographsβ landscapes (often peopled), flowers, star constellations, jewels, birds, dogs, hands, eyes and faces.β ( x )
