Description

Psychical Research is a book written by Sir William F. Barrett, a renowned physicist and psychical researcher. The book explores the field of psychical research, which is the scientific study of paranormal phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. In this book, Barrett discusses the history of psychical research, including the work of notable figures such as William James and Frederic W. H. Myers. He also describes various experiments and investigations into psychic phenomena, including those conducted by himself and other researchers. Barrett delves into the theories and explanations for psychic phenomena, including the concept of the subconscious mind, the role of energy fields, and the possibility of communication with the deceased. He also examines the criticisms and skeptics of psychical research, providing counterarguments and evidence to support the validity of the field. Overall, Psychical Research provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of paranormal phenomena and presents a compelling case for its importance and validity.Contents: Science and Superstition; Unconscious muscular action; Society for Psychical Research; Willing game and so-called thought-reading; Thought transference in both normal state and hypnotic state; Mesmerism, Hypnotism, Suggestion; Telepathy; Visual hallucinations, phantasms; Dreams and crystal-visions; Supernormal perception-seeing without the eyes; Divining, dowsing; Haunting; Spiritualism; Automatic writing-cross correspondence and survival after death.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
