People from the Other World

by Henry Steel Olcott

About this book

Henry Steel Olcott recounts his investigation of the Eddy family's reported spirit manifestations in Chittenden, Vermont. His narrative describes the household, the séance room, visitors, tests and the appearances he interpreted as materialisations.

A second part turns to the Katie King affair and the Compton manifestations, combining narrative with testimony and descriptions of experimental arrangements. Illustrations by Alfred Kappes and T. W. Williams accompany the account, followed by a bibliography of Spiritualism and occult literature. This complete 1875 American Publishing Company edition retains the original illustrations, diagrams and all 492 numbered pages.
