Hours with the Ghosts

Spiritualism, Theosophy

This book examines supernatural phenomena and witchcraft in the 19th century. Focusing on the origin and development of spiritualism and theosophy, it explores the history of mediums and occultists, their methods, and the psychology behind these beliefs. The text references research on the theory of telepathy, as well as provides information about the lives and practices of mediums and occultists. Research is presented about the ways in which mediums used techniques to fabricate results, as well as the techniques revolving around psychic force that the author concludes as being plausible. It also studies practices such as slate-writing and spirit photography that were popular at the time.
