Enigmas of Psychical Research

by James H. Hyslop

About this book

James H. Hyslop surveys experiences that he groups as supernormal phenomena, including crystal vision, telepathy, dreams, apparitions, clairvoyance and premonitions. Historical material and reported cases accompany his discussion of how such experiences might be investigated.

The book connects these subjects with psychology and with questions about the scope and methods of science. Eleven chapters range from ancient oracles to mediumistic phenomena, concluding with a retrospective discussion of the field. This complete 1906 London Putnam edition preserves its case reports, illustrations and tables; the separate catalog cover comes from an authenticated 1906 historical copy.
