Often included in Believe It or Not type books and occult picture
anthologies are photos of the medium Colin Evans levitating
at a public meeting in North London in 1938.
Some sources say they are infra-red shots. Certainly the audience
members are absorbed in their own thoughts. Even the members
of the circle who look to have been joining hands with Evans do
not seem fully aware of what was going on.
The bearded figure is seen poised awkwardly several feet above
the company. His suit hangs very uncomfortably and the sleeves
look almost empty.
There are at least two photographs, taken at the same moment
but recording it from slightly different angles.
I have never seen a detailed account of the occasion. There are spirtitualist
sites which refer to this as a fully-authenticated case of levitation and
Evans was a famous medium in his day. I have my doubts. Can anyone
throw light on the photos, who took them and why? Presumably infra-red
cameras did not just happen to be there.
