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. It documents over 700 case studies of
ghost-seeing, and aimed to revolutionise thinking about ghosts by
proposing a theory that explained ghost-seeing through the idea of
telepathy. Volume 1 includes an introduction by Myers and an
explanation of the analytical methods used in the study. It then
focuses on hypnotism, the telepathic transference of ideas, mental
pictures and emotional impressions, dreams, and hallucinations, and
contains an impressive essay on the history of witchcraft. This
pioneering study is an indispensable source for the history of
psychical research. It provides detailed insights into the
Victorian fascination with the occult and the supernatural, and is
still the most extensive collection of ghost-seeing accounts
available.
