Is Modern Spiritualism Based on Facts or Fancy?

by James Coates

About this book

James Coates presents cases that he regards as evidence for communication with the dead, drawing on decades of involvement in psychical investigation. The Standfast case leads into accounts of psychic photographs, images and writing said to appear on photographic plates, and voices heard during séances.

The book describes the conditions of particular sittings, compares different forms of mediumship and follows messages attributed to departed relatives and acquaintances. Four photographs accompany the discussion. This complete 1919 publication includes all six chapters, its summary of further séances and the dream-vision appendix.
