Abstract

The book is intended as an introduction to paranormal phenomena. The author describes and interprets mystical states, ghosts and apparitions, poltergeists, and extrasensory perception. One chapter is devoted to mediumistic fraud and another to the laboratory investigations of Rhine and his co-workers. The final chapter consists of an excursion into aspects of the philosophy of science designed to show that psychic phenomena can be embraced within a modern scientific perspective. 14-page bibliography.
