Do the Dead Depart? And Other Questions

by E. Katharine Bates

About this book

E. Katharine Bates reflects on experiences and questions concerning the continued presence of the dead. She combines personal recollections with accounts from other people, considering what spirit return might mean for ordinary relationships and for the interpretation of unusual events.

The chapters discuss objections to spirit communication, guardianship, clairvoyance, clairaudience, reincarnation, automatic writing and materialization. Bates distinguishes her reflective purpose from a technical evidential treatise. This complete 1908 edition preserves all twelve chapters and the author’s concluding discussion of guardian children.
