Synopsis

This book explores the concept of telepathy, presenting evidence from experimental studies conducted by the Society for Psychical Research over more than a century. The author traces the history of the subject, examining how early misconceptions and skepticism have given way to a more scientific approach. The book presents a compelling case for the existence of telepathy, drawing on both anecdotal accounts and rigorous experiments. It examines the various ways in which telepathic communication can manifest, including the transference of thoughts, emotions, and sensory experiences. The author also explores the potential mechanisms underlying telepathy, considering both physical and psychological explanations. Ultimately, the book concludes that telepathy is a real phenomenon that challenges our understanding of the limits of human consciousness and opens up new possibilities for communication and connection.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
