William S Marriott aka stage magician Dr Wilmar was a dedicated debunker of fake spiritualist mediums in the early 1900's who staged a series of photographs demonstrating spirit trickery. Ghost sleuth Harry Price (1881-1948) later used these images of Marriott when giving talks.

Witch-bottles are one of my favourite topics - there's a large chapter on them in my book. This x-ray of the Greenwich bottle was organised by Dr Alan Massey, we've worked together on many bottles.
