Practical Views on Psychic Phenomena

by George E. Wright

About this book

George E. Wright offers a guide to approaching the published evidence for psychic phenomena. His concern is method: how an interested reader can distinguish testimony, emotional conviction, possible fraud and the results of sustained investigation without accepting or dismissing every claim in advance.

The discussion ranges across the principal branches of psychical research and the question of communication with the dead. Wright summarizes cases, considers explanations and sets out the conclusions he has reached as a practical investigator. This complete 1920 edition preserves the introduction, original chapters, source acknowledgments and closing discussion.
