Fortean Phenomena on Film: Evidence or Artifact?
Rense Lange & James Houran, Psychology Dept. G-46, University of
Illinois at Springfield, Springfield, IL 62794
This research tested the hypotheses that anomalous photographic effects
must be attributed to the specific recording medium being used, and
that the interpretations of such anomalies as paranormal or Fortean
are the result of the situational context under which the photographs
were obtained. As predicted, an analysis of 67 previously published
photographic anomalies indicated that the type of effect was significantly
related to the photographic medium, and that the interpretation imposed
on these anomalies was congruent with the contextual variables operating
during the recording.
