Looking back to a year ago, I can see the progression I`ve made by the words that I`ve used for Tags. I started with with orbs (no Capital O as I hadn`t then realized their importance), then aerial anomalies, ghosts & spirits, night objects, paranormal, aerial ectoplasm, ectoplasmic images, and UFO`s and these have now all morphed into the umbrella tag of SKOTOGRAPH.
This was a word that I learned in my searches that was given by a member of the SPR, Felicia Scatcherd, to the bewildering variety of images on photos and other photographic material that came from the hand of Madge Donohoe early last century, by some paranormal method. The word SKOTOGRAPH comes from the Greek meaning dark writing. Madge`s images were sometimes less than desirable, as are many of mine, but spirit writing and similar effects such as landscapes, people, flowers, star constellations, jewels, birds, animals, hands, eyes and faces were often seen and recognized for what they stood for.
I would greatly love to see the files on Mrs Donohoe that must, or should be languishing in the files of the SPR. You would imagine that, more than any other institution in the whole, wide world, the SPR would be desirous of seeing my paranormal images or learning more from me about my carrying on the research that they thought at the time was important enough to write about 100 years ago. Ha, not so and I`ll leave that story for another day.
