Imoda, Enrico (ca. 1912)

Pioneer Italian psychical researcher. Dr. Imoda conducted a series of methodical experiments in Turin with the medium Linda Gazzera in the house of Marquise de Ruspoli. His book Fotografie di fantasmi (1912), with a preface by Charles Richet, contains photographs of what is purported to be ectoplasm produced by Gazzera. In 1908 Dr. Imoda experimented with the famous medium Eusapia Palladino and claimed that radiations resembling those of radium and the cathode rays of Sir William Crookes emanated from the medium.
