Elliot O’Donnell examines the dangers he associates with the practice of Spiritualism, distinguishing his subject from psychical research more broadly. With a foreword by Father Bernard Vaughan, this 1920 book combines discussion of religious teachings with accounts of séances, mediumship, and the reliability of supposed communications from the dead.
Chapters consider Spiritualist interpretations of the Old and New Testaments, the movement’s relationship with established churches, and what O’Donnell describes as its effects on health. An extended final chapter addresses fraud, witness testimony, and the problem of identifying the agents behind reported manifestations. The complete historical edition preserves the author’s note, all six chapters, and the original binding. Credit: Library of Congress.
