Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu’s Psychic Photographs


I have written a blog post about the psychic photographs of Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu (1838-1907).
  A polymath with wide interests, today he is perhaps best known for the remarkable Iulia Hasdeu Castle at Câmpina, named after his highly accomplished daughter who died at the age of 18, leaving her promise unfulfilled.

 As a result of his bereavement, Hasdeu threw himself into Spiritualism, an element of which took the form of making psychic images.  A number of these have been published, and I have written about his efforts in this area.  The article is on my other blog here:
