Johann Georg Schrepfer, or Johann Georg Schröpfer (1738? – 8 October 1774 in Leipzig), was a German charlatan, independent Freemason and necromancer. He performed ghost-raising séances for which he secretly used special effects, possibly including magic lantern projections of ghosts on smoke, which inspired the phantasmagoria shows popular in Europe from the 1790s to the 1830s. Little is certain about Schrepfer's life. Many accounts stem from either adherent or opposing Freemasons and Schrepfer himself was an impostor who told many lies about himself.

  • Johann Georg Schrepfer (peut-être né en 1730, baptisé en 1738 à Saint-Sebald de Nuremberg et mort le 8 octobre 1774 à Leipzig) était un charlatan allemand, franc-maçon indépendant et nécromancien. Il a réalisé des séances d'apparition de disparus pour lesquelles il a secrètement utilisé des effets spéciaux, comprenant des projections de lanternes magiques de fantômes sur des volutes de fumées, ce qui a inspiré de nombreux spectacles de fantasmagorie populaires en Europe entre les années 1790 et les années 1830.
