Excerpt from Enigmas of Psychical Research
The present volume may be considered as a supplement to the one on Science and a Future Life, which has been published. In that work I gave a very inadequate summary of the phenomena bearing upon Telepathy and Apparitions, and I said nothing whatever regarding several other types of phenomena having an equal scientific interest. I was occupied in that volume with facts related more directly to the question of survival after death, especially as experimentally supported. In the present book I have seized the opportunity to go over the whole field of the supernormal. While I have discussed Telepathy and Apparitions more exhaustively than before, I have added much material on Crystal Gazing, Coincidental Dreams, Clairvoyance, and Premonitions, with some illustrations of Mediumistic Phenomena without involving these with the more scientific case of Mrs. Piper. I have tried to give all of them that unity of interest and meaning which are due to the supernormal having psychological character and demanding more scientific investigation than it has yet received.
The nature of the present work must not be misunderstood.
