Edward Wyllie

Edward Arthur Sanders Wyllie (28 January 1848[1] – 6 March 1911) was a British medium and spirit photographer.

[2] Wyllie was born in Calcutta, British India, as a British subject, and moved to England as a small boy.

He also worked as a medium and spirit photographer.

His spirit photographs were exposed as frauds.

[4][5] Negatives of pre-made spirit images were found in his house and it was also discovered that Wyllie had used a method of "palming small spirit drawings executed in luminous paint and pressing them to the photographic plate" which he confessed to.
