Beschreibung

This vintage book contains a summary of the author's experiences and experiments related to spiritualism, with a particular focus on physical phenomena. Spiritualism is a religious movement based on the belief that spirits of the deceased exist and are able to communicate with living people. It began to develop in the 1840s and had reached its peak of popularity by the 1920s, particularly in English-speaking countries. Hereward Carrington (1880 - 1958) was a famous British-born American paranormal investigator and author. His focus was telepathy, and among his subjects were many of the most well-known cases of ostensibly psychic ability of the time. Carrington wrote over 100 books on related subjects during his life. Other notable works by thus author include: "The Physical Phenomena of Spiritualism" (1907), "The Coming Science" (1908), and "Eusapia Palladino and her Phenomena" (1909). Contents include: "Earlier Investigations into Physically Phenomena", "A Poltergeist in Nova Scotia", "The Lily Dale Investigation", "My Experience as a Slate-Writing Medium!", "Phenomena Witnessed in Private Circles", "A Séance with De Witt Hough", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Autor

Hereward Carrington was a well-known American who was born in Britain on October 17, 1880. He died on December 26, 1958. Some of the most famous cases of what seemed to be psychic ability at the time were his subjects, and he wrote more than 100 books on paranormal and psychical research, conjuring and stage magic, and alternative medicine. Carrington promoted fruitarianism and had bogus ideas about how to lose weight. Carrington joined the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) in 1907. From that year until 1908, he worked as James Hyslop's assistant, which is when he became known as an ASPR investigator. Carrington wrote to famous people of the time, like Israel Regardie, Nandor Fodor, Aleister Crowley, and Sylvan Muldoon, who was one of the first people to study astral projection and with whom he wrote three books, including The Projection of the Astral Body (1929) and The Phenomena of Astral Projection (1951). ¿
