"The pattern of the curtain seen through her dematerialised head is quite distinct and would be almost impossible to superimpose"
Sorry, but this is total crap. (I do admit, I represent the other extreme of these posts!)
What I have read, the "evidence" I have seen and the repetative anacdotes sum up nothing paranormal at all. Whether or not she or any other 'mediums' are fake or think they are genuine, is besides the point. They all insist they are "for real" and I for one believe that the perpetuation of such fantasy is destructive and corrupt to the degree that people in certain cultures murder people through superstitious belief, whether it be sacrifice or "curse reversal". These people are getting kicks out of it, (Whether they are making a living out of it or not.)
Why is the cup not dark? Because lighter objects show up more in a double exposure, *Or more technically... when a subject moves during a long exposure wearing somewhat darker clothing that the surroundings * Notice she wears no bright colours for those shots. Also if you look closer, there are2 cups, one faint, and tho other pretty much fully exposed. Notice also, her hands are conceiling something. (Dark cloth from her face?) Hmmm? How long does it take to remove a dark thing from your face for a 3 second shot ? It's very easy to do within camera, (Has anyone got the negatives? I ask, 'cos it could easlily have been done in PS.) I find that there's absolutely NO evidence that any of this medium/spiritualism/esp/telekenisis/de/materialisation etc etc exists at all. (More of the Occam's razor anyone?)
So people...please don't be gullible.....I'm not being high or mighty at all, nor am I patronising anyone, but come on.... I said I am representing the other extreme...someone has to , to balance the rationality of Forteanism!
No offense intended.....Just balancing the equasion that's all.
Aye!
