Transcript of Ghostly Images Summary
Whitby, 1894
After their employer dies two apprentice
photographers, David and John, are thrown
out of work
They fall into the clutches of Hood, a
charlatan and fake psychic medium. He is
eager to exploit them as ‘spirit
photographers.’ Hood is aware of the skills
that David and John possess in faking
photographs. He knew that a distressed girl
whose kitten had died was reassured when
given a photograph by David of her kitten
with a white light of heaven above its head.
Desperate for work David and John believe
that they have no other choice but to
accpept Hood’s offer of work.
David and John fake a number of
photographs, but become increasingly
troubled by the sordid world of ‘spirit
photography.’
Lucy, a determined reporter with the Whitby
Herald, is determined to expose Hood and
the practice of ‘spirit photography’ in the
area.
Although David stubbornly refuses to believe
in the supernatural, strange shadows were
appearing on the photographs he had
taken of a number of young women. At the
same time David had also fallen in love
with Lucy.
David hadn’t faked these photographs of
the young women, but something sinister
was happening in Whitby.
These women had been brutally murdered.
And the murderer was now in search of his
next victim … Lucy.
