Biography

Simeon Edmunds (1917 – 1969) was a British psychical researcher and writer on hypnotism.

Career

Edmunds was a research secretary for the College of Psychic Science and member of the Society for Psychical Research. He was the associate editor of the Tomorrow magazine.

He is most well known for his skeptical books on spiritualism. His 1965 booklet Spirit Photography was published by the Society for Psychical Research. It exposed the fraudulent methods involved in producing spirit photographs. According to Edmunds "not one professional spirit photographer of any note ever escaped convincing exposure as fraudulent."

His 1961 work, Hypnotism and the Supernormal was described in a review as a "classic and serious study". Psychologist L. Börje Löfgren has noted that although Edmunds considered many mediums to be fraudulent he was not critical when it came to reports of psychic phenomena.

In 2016, Edmunds booklet Spirit Photography was republished in limited quantities.
