William F. Barrett surveys the subjects investigated by the Society for Psychical Research, from unconscious muscular action and apparent thought-reading to hypnotism, telepathy, dreams and apparitions. He explains the kinds of observations and experiments that led investigators to distinguish among possible explanations.
Later chapters discuss crystal visions, dowsing, hauntings, physical phenomena and automatic writing, including cross-correspondences and arguments about survival after death. The book provides Barrett's own overview of the field and its findings at the beginning of the twentieth century. This is the complete 1911 Home University Library edition, with its bibliography and index.
