Skotograph
Skotograph
A term (from the Greek for "dark-writing") proposed by Felicia Scatcherd for psychographs, spirit writing on photographic plates in unopened packets, and similar effects. Scatcherd was a member of the Society for Psychical Research, London, and helped W. T. Stead found Julia's Bureau. She was associated with the study of psychic photography. She died in 1927.
Madge Donohoe, widow of Martin H. Donohoe, British war correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, was known to produce a bewildering variety of skotographs—landscapes (often peopled), flowers, star constellations, jewels, birds, dogs, hands, eyes, and faces. Her gift was tested by F. W. Warrick, a chemical manufacturer and well-known British psychical researcher.
