Frank Podmore (1856 1910) was a paranormal researcher and socialist
who co-founded the Fabian Society. He became interested in
spiritualism while studying at Oxford and joined the Society for
Psychical Research. Forced to leave his employment at the Post
Office amid rumours of a homosexual scandal, Podmore was later
found drowned in suspicious circumstances. This 1894 volume is a
detailed and comprehensive study of a variety of unexplained
phenomena. The author reviews numerous scientific tests of
telepathic ability involving the transmission of thoughts, tastes
and images (illustrated by reproduction of sketches purportedly
sent between psychics). Also reported are researches into
clairvoyance, automatic writing and even attempts to induce sleep
using telepathy. The author explores a variety of rational
explanations for the phenomena, including fraud and the influence
of hypnosis and suggestibility. Diligent and carefully argued,
Podmore's examination of the scientific study of the supernatural
is also colourful and enthralling.
