Sir William Fletcher Barrett (February 10, 1844 - May 26, 1925) was
Professor of Physics at the Royal College of Science for Dublin
from 1873-1910 and one of the distinguished early psychical
researchers. He was instrumental in the founding of the Society for
Psychical Research (SPR) in 1882, serving as vice-president and
editor of the Society's Journal during its first year and he became
president in 1904. He also encouraged Professor William James of
Harvard to organize the American branch of the SPR. in 1884. First
published in 1917, On the Threshold of the Unseen is Barrett's
examination of spiritualism, psychic phenomena, and life after
death. Topics covered include, science and scepticism, automatic
writing, clairvoyance, telepathy, direct voice, spirit photography,
and much more. During his 50 years of psychical research, Barrett
observed many types of psychic phenomena. Recalling his past
experiences at a private meeting of the SPR on June 17, 1924, less
than a year before his death, Barrett said: "I am personally
convinced that the evidence we have published decidedly
demonstrates, the existence of a spiritual world, survival after
death, and of occasional communication from those who have passed
over... It is however hardly possible to convey to others who have
not had a similar experience an adequate idea of the strength and
cumulative force of the evidence that has compelled my] belief."
Almost a century later, On the Threshold of the Unseen is still
considered essential reading of anyone interested in psychical
research and survival of consciousness after physical death.
