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.
