A Filmed Interview with Harry Price, Investigator of Psychic Phenomena (1935)

Here’s a fascinating piece of ghostbuster history; a Movietone newsreel interview with Harry Price, who investigated numerous purportedly psychic phenomena during the early-mid 20th century.  With his seemingly affected “upper class” accent and abrupt, awkward movements, HP is clearly not a natural presenter.  Still, he does a good job showing off the London Council for Psychical Research’s facilities, including their impressive library, several interesting museum artefacts, a lab full of cutting-edge 1930s technology and a seance room equipped with apparatus to test claims of clairvoyance and telekinesis.
