hi everybody,
this is my first entry as a guest poster here in this fine community!
i hope everyone enjoys it.
christopher schneberger is an artist based in chicago. he is the boyfriend of audrey niffenegger, the writer of the time traveler's wife. which makes me like him even more!
his pictures tell stories about ghosts and mysteries.
segments of the story for these photos:
frances naylor was born september 30, 1907 to william naylor and eugenia (“jennie”) naylor of evanston, illinois. her older brother george was born in 1905. in the spring of 1909, shortly after she learned to walk, frances developed a circulatory problem in her legs. when various therapies proved unsuccessful, her legs were amputated.
sometime in the spring of 1921, at the age of 13, frances (called “franny” by her family) began to have dreams that she was able to walk again. so strong were these dreams that one morning after waking franny leapt out of bed without thinking and found herself able to levitate, just as if she were standing. with a little effort she found she had the ability to move about the room. she called to her parents who came running, afraid franny had hurt herself. when they came into the room they were amazed at what they saw. her mother fainted.
another set:
the strange case of dr. addison and the crosswell twins
segments from the story:
dr. charles addison disappeared in the spring of 1908. the noted botanist, amateur zoologist, and photographic portraitist, had been making a series of images of a young girl named regina crosswell. regina’s twin sister, lydia, had died in the winter, though the circumstances were unclear. dr. addison, however, became convinced that lydia crosswell had not entirely departed from our earthly plane.
to his astonishment, each time addison photographed young regina crosswell, the image of her sister appeared when the photographic plate was developed. ever the scientist, addison tried several technical means and experiments to discern the truth. one of those methods was stereo photography with gave a three-dimensional image. addison reasoned that if the spirit was false, it would not have visual depth. after numerous images all showed lydia’s image, addison began to accept the presence of her spirit. he then began to question her demise.
