This two-volume work, co-authored by Edmund Gurney (1847 1888),
Frederic W. H. Myers (1843 1901) and Frank Podmore (1856 1910), all
leading members of the Society for Psychical Research, was first
published in 1886. This collection, containing over 700 case
studies of sensory phantasms and hypnotic experiments, was one of
the first attempts to deal scientifically with the hypothesis of
psychic thought-transference and to catalogue and provide a body of
evidence in its support. Volume 2 presents data and analyses of
auditory, visual, and tactile hallucinations, and those of a
reciprocal or collective nature. It contains addenda and a
conclusion for the two volumes. This pioneering study is an
indispensable source for the history of psychical research and
nineteenth-century attitudes to the idea of telepathy. It provides
detailed insights into the Victorian fascination with the occult
and the supernatural.
