Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, 1873-1935)
Conan Doyle's Return (enlarged detail of photograph shown below) Gelatin-silver print of unknown date from negative taken June 27, 1932 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in 1930, a firm believer in the survival of the spirit after death--and in spirit photography. In this image, the great writer returns from "the other side of the veil" through the mediumship of Mrs. Mary Marshall. Doyle is seen in the upper portion of the "ectoplasm" shown exuding from the medium's nose.
The photographer, Dr. T. Glen Hamilton, was a prominent physician and political leader from Winnipeg who conducted research into psychic phenomena between 1918 and 1934. During this period, Dr. Hamilton was elected to the Manitoba legislature, became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and served for a time as President of the Manitoba Medical Association.
