Are there living ghosts who speak? Can spirits be invoked by mediums? This little classic of spiritualism says yes! The author, Colonel Henry Olcott (1832~1907 ), was one of those who pioneered in America the serious investigation of mediums and their alleged spirit phenomena. The book is especially concerned with the famous case of spiritual happenings at the Eddy brothers' farm at Chittenden, Vermont, in the year 1874. Olcott was a witness to the confusing events described, and reported them to the public in a series of articles published by the New York Daily Graphic. In the following year, 1875, People from the Other World was released. It contains, in addition to the Daily Graphic articles, much supplementary material, including a bibliography of writings relating to spiritualism. Belief in the reality of ghosts, apparitions, rapping spirits, and ecotoplasm is not essential to the enjoyment of this book. What Olcott has to say is as gripping as a detective story and as fascinating as science fiction. Manifesting spirits, Olcott's attempts at preventing fakery, and Madam Blavatsky's ability to conjure up and control spirits spread out before us as a panorama of nineteenth~century spiritualism. Olcott firmly believed in spirit communication. The state he speaks of is that of being "face to face with the dead, or rather with the quick who have tasted death, and passed on into immortal life where death is no more." HENRY STEEL OLCOTT, born in Orange, New Jersey, in 1832, lived a long and venturesome life as reporter, lawyer, spirit hunter, and occultist until his death in 1907. He is best known to the world as the first president of the Theosophical Society in America and for his association with Theosophy's eccentric co~founder, Countess Helena Petrova Hahn Blavatsky. Henry Olcott was educated in the schools of New York City, including the University of the City of New York. Thereafter he engaged in farming in northern Ohio until he became associate agricultural editor of the New York Tribune in 1858. ln 1860 he married but later renounced his family in order to follow Madame Blavatsky. He acquired the title of colonel as an investigator of corruption in military arsenals and naval shipyards after the Civil War, in which he served. His interest in spiritualism began early in his life, and he followed this bent in America, Europe, and India. In India he studied Hinduism. Eventually he became a Buddhist and in 1889 accepted an invitation from eight Japanese Buddhist sects to lecture in Japan. He formulated points common to all Buddhists and to a large extent pioneered the unity of international Buddhism.
