From The Hindu Archives, April 14, 1926: Sir A. Conan Doyle’s claim challenged

A “Statesman” cable says:—

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s claim that a photograph shown from a lantern slide in a recent lecture was a spirit photograph of the dead Lord Combermere seated in his library on the day of his own funeral, is challenged by Lord Combermere’s nephew, the scientist, Mr. Campbell Swinton, who declares that the photograph was taken in 1898 by an American then renting Combermere Abbey, and was not in the library but in the hall, where nobody ever sat.
