Edward Wyllie

Edward Wyllie (1848–1911) was an American medium and spirit photographer.

Wyllie was born in Calcutta, India and moved to California in 1886 to work as a photographer. He also worked as a medium and spirit photographer. His spirit photographs were exposed as frauds. 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.
