A comprehensive examination of the paranormal of psychic phenomena which encapsulates scientific explanation, case studies, and the history and study of the various different types of paranormal phenomena.
The author's main concern as he explains is 'with the phenomenon which parapsychology has been concentrating upon extra sensory perception, psychonesis, ghosts and divination-concentrating for the most part on the actual evidence rather than speculative interpretations'.
Indeed this book gives a very credible argument and hard evidence as to the existence of the paranormal.
Chapter 1 presents a historical survey of the paranormal , psychic phenomena including the supernatural, animal magnetism , spiritualism, psychic phenomena and PSI.
Anybody who attempts to present serious studies of the paranormal and psychic phenomena risk ridicule, as public academic opinion is still dictated by a cabal of m,materialistic and scientists who aim to control the discourse of thought in this matter (as in many other matters) and like the church of old would be threatened by new vistas of understanding into the paranormal being recognized.
Chapters 2 and 3 thoroughly examine the topic of Extra Sensory Perception , followed by entries on clairvoyance, telepathy and psychical effects (such as movements of objects, apports and direct writing psychic photography, physiological effects (such as ectoplasm, materialization, levitations, translocations and auras.
Chapter 4 deals with Ghosts and is divided into section on apparitions, hauntings and poltergeists.
It presents case studies and folklore
Chapter 5 examines the topic of Divination from Shamans and witchdoctors, to the Biblical prophets to seers such as Nostradamus, John Dee and Edgar Cayce, as well as those of modern times
This chapter delves into Automatism , mediums, speaking in tongues, psychometary, scrying, table tilting, ouija and dowsing, card reading, palmistry and astrology,
Many fascinating and often spine chilling, case studies, and anecdotes and information discovered in these ways is presented.
Chapter 6 is on the topic of Magic, including alchemy, witchcraft, healing and paranormal medicine
Chapter 7 deals with psychic states of mind such as sleep and dreams, dislocation, possession, hysteria and induced trances.
And chapter 8 discusses what the author refers to as the anomalous phenomena, including highlighting UFOs, spontaneous combustion, synchronicity and leys,
A vital book for the shelves of anyone interested in serious study of the paranormal and unjustly much ignored discipline , which should be but is not offered in un university curricula.
