In late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France, a number of groups turned to the wondrous and occult as a means of understanding and explaining the world. This title examines these varied efforts through the phenomena witnessed at seances.
An enlightening and entertaining narrative that includes colorful people like "Allan Kardec"--a pseudonymous former mathematics teacher from Lyon who wrote successful works on the science of the séance and what happened after death--Investigating the Supernatural reveals the rich and vibrant diversity of unorthodox beliefs and practices that existed at the borders of the French scientific culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
