Examining the history of the projected image and supernatural displays, psychical research and telepathy, spirit photography and X-rays, the skeletons of the danse macabre and the ghostly spaces of the mind, it uncovers many lost and fascinating connections. .The Modern Supernatural and the Beginnings of Cinema. locates film’s spectral affinities within a history stretching back to the beginning of screen practice and forward to the digital era.
