Talk:Harry Price

William Hope
The William Hope to which the link pointed seems unlikey to be the same man as the one mentioned here. That Hope is notable for having received the Victoria Cross, and his article doesn't mention any paranormal photography. There appear to be several notable William Hopes. I'm pointing the link to a nonexistent page in the hope that someone who knows something about this man can write an article about him. -- CKA3KA (Skazka) 00:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Brocken Experiment
German Wiki has an article on the Brocken Experiment that mentions her as Urta Bohn, daughter of Breslau attorney Erich Bohn. not an actress, and imdb does not know an actress called Gloria Gordon.--Tresckow (talk) 17:13, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Price and the Carlton Dramatic Society
In section 'Early life' Price is stated to have founded the Carlton Dramatic Society at age 15 (ie in 1896/97). However the wikipedia article on the Society (now Carlton Theatre Group) states it was founded, with Price a founder member, in 1927 when he was in his mid 40s. Needs checking out although there is a citation used in support of the statement in this article.Cloptonson (talk) 20:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Conan Doyle quote on Price questioned (section Cases, subsection William Hope)
Conan Doyle is stated to have 'predicted' Harry Price would suffer 'the same fate as Houdini' if Price persisted in writing against spiritualism. I question this on chronological grounds and suggest some checking, as 1922 is given as the year Price began accusing Wiliam Hope the 'spirit photographer' of fraud but Houdini died not die until October 1926. Can someone put a date on when Doyle wrote the imprecatory comment about Price?Cloptonson (talk) 09:35, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Urta Bohn
If Urta Bohn, who performed the role of maiden in the Brocken ritual, were (as stated) actress Gloria Gordon (1881-1962) then she would have been 41 years old at the time of the ritual. Hall (1978, p. 165) suggests the connection, but it seems erroneous. The woman in photographs of the ritual is clearly significantly younger. 95.145.254.76 (talk) 15:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
