Is there a source on that photo because it is awesome. But is it actual historical or just modern and staged

[–] somenonewho@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So ... I was also interested by that question and intrigued by that photo, so I put on my research cap and went away.

From what I found out it seems to be both:

A staged photo/shot but from a historical movie called Dr. Mabuse the Gambler .

I was able to find the movie on YouTube with A seance scene which however does not seem to be the same scene (or at least a different angle) from the picture. If anyone has the time to scroll through all 4h of that movie the scene in the picture might be in there.
