Book Description
This work of 1897 represents a balanced investigation into psychical phenomena. Refusing to reject their possibility outright and seeking 'simply the discovery of the truth', Podmore researches a range of phenomena, from poltergeists to haunted houses to premonitions. His work reflects Victorian society's deep interest in science and the spiritual.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the rise and development of the Spiritualist movement, focusing on the influence of scientists and their investigations. Beginning with the Rochester rappings in 1848, the book carefully traces the emergence of mediums and the growth of physical phenomena, such as spirit materializations and movements of objects. The author dissects the beliefs and motivations of Spiritualists, and how their acceptance of disembodied spirits operating in the physical world created a schism from mainstream scientific thought. The book also explores the mental phenomena associated with Spiritualism, including trance speaking, automatic writing, and visions, examining the genuine psychological experiences behind these practices. By presenting historical context and analyzing Spiritualism as a belief system, this book sheds light on the complex interplay between science, religion, and the human desire for connection with the unknown. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330430149_0
