New Evidences in Psychical Research: A Record of Investigations, with Selected Examples of Recent S.P.R. Results

by J. Arthur Hill; introduction by Oliver Lodge

About this book

J. Arthur Hill brings together personal investigations and selected reports from the Society for Psychical Research. Accounts of mediumistic communication and related experiences lead him to consider what kind of evidence might bear upon survival after death.

The book describes the circumstances of individual sittings, the information communicated and the difficulties of interpreting it. Hill combines case narratives with discussion of alternative explanations and the standards he thinks an inquiry should meet. The complete original 1911 edition retains Oliver Lodge’s introduction and the source text, notes and concluding material.
