Before her death, Mrs. Mary McVickers of Los Angeles requested that a
photographer be commissioned to take photographs of her body as it lay
in the casket. Accordingly, after she died, C. H. Monroe, a licensed
photographer, entered the room where her body lay and prepared to obey
her dying wish. In making the pictures, he used a velour screen to
balance the light; and later he was amazed to find on this screen three
weird impressions that are declared to be “spirit photographs.” Monroe
declared the screen was the sort he always used and that he examined
it carefully before photographing the woman’s body and found nothing
unusual about it. Mrs. Mary Vlasek, pastor of the Spiritualist Temple,
and a number of her followers stated positively that they had seen Mrs.
McVicker’s spirit in the temple, some time after her death, and also at
the crematory.
