Camille Flammarion was a French astronomer and author of more than fifty titles, including several notable early science fiction novels, and works on psychical research and related topics. In this fascinating book, Flammarion studies from a scientific point of view hundreds of cases of ghosts, apparitions, and related psychic phenomena. He tells us at the beginning of his book: “The universal and constant aspirations of all thinking human beings, the reverence and affectionate remembrance in which we hold the memory of our dead, the innate idea of a Day of Judgment, the feelings inherent in our consciousness, and in our intellect, the miserable incoherence between the destinies of men on earth compared with the mathematical order which regulates the universe, the bewildering impression we receive of the infinite and the eternal as we gaze into the starry heavens, and beneath all this our certainty of the permanent identity of our I (our own individual existence) notwithstanding perpetual changes in our bodies and our brains — all conspire to create in us a conviction of the existence of the soul as an individual entity which will survive the destruction of our corporeal organism, and which must be immortal.”
