Mysterious Psychic Forces

About this book

A séance produces a moving table, an apparition or a mysterious mark on photographic paper. Camille Flammarion approaches such reports with the curiosity of an astronomer accustomed to examining unfamiliar evidence.

Mysterious Psychic Forces gathers testimony and investigations of extraordinary phenomena, reflecting the enthusiasm and controversy of early psychical research. The claims remain contested, and the book's methods differ from modern scientific standards. Its value lies in the detailed record of what investigators hoped these events might reveal about mind and matter.
