Sister Amie: Spirit Greeting
A woman’s pale face tilts beneath a dark, layered hood, the lower edge of the image dissolving into long streaks of fabric. The photograph appears beneath the heading Spirit Greeting and is captioned The Spirit of Sister Amie. Lobb describes her as a helper in his psychic investigations. The portrait’s close framing gives the claimed encounter a more intimate form than the book’s full-length paired photographs.
