 Beyond The Grave A Brief History Of Spirit Photography For over 100 years Spiritualists and others in the field of psychic research have tried scientifically to prove that people have souls that live on after death. Spiritualists have often used spirit photography as proof of survival-after-death. Photography itself dates back to the 1840's and has progressed from daguerreotypes to the highly evolved photography that we know today. Amazingly, spirit photography which first appeared in the mid-nineteenth century also continues to evolve and is alive and well in this twenty-first century. While one may be tempted to take a condescending attitude towards those nineteenth century believers, it is worth remembering that Spiritualism - and spirit photography - is alive and well to this day. Of course, a renewed interest in Spiritualism is more easily explained at certain points in time. Just before World War II began, for example, Spiritualism enjoyed a revival. More puzzling was the surge in popularity during the 1980s, which made much less sense, unless one believed that the waning Cold War inspired Spiritualist leanings. The passion with which people embrace the principals of Spiritualism - even today - illustrates that progress does not seem to alter the universal need people share for believing that they can communicate beyond the grave.
