Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the preliminary report of an 1887 investigation into spiritualism conducted by the University of Pennsylvania's Seybert Commission. The commission's goal was to evaluate the claims of spiritualists and mediums, and their report provides a detailed account of their experiments and observations. The authors, who included notable figures such as Dr. William Pepper and Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, approached the investigation with an open mind and a willingness to accept evidence of spiritual phenomena if it could be proven. However, after extensive testing, they were unconvinced by the claims of mediums and concluded that many of the alleged spiritual manifestations were fraudulent. The book explores the history of spiritualism and the various techniques used by mediums to create the illusion of communication with spirits. It also discusses the psychological and social factors that contribute to the belief in spiritualism, and the ways in which people can be deceived by fraudulent mediums. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and skepticism when evaluating claims of the supernatural.

This book shares the results of the Seybert Commission, an investigation undertaken by the University of Pennsylvania in 1883 following the request of Henry Seybert to examine whether scientific evidence could prove the existence of a spirit world. A commission of Penn faculty-including physicians, scientists, philosophers, and scholars-spent four years interviewing mediums, attending séances, collecting advertisements and correspondence, and carefully documenting alleged supernatural phenomena during the height of the American Spiritualist movement. The commission approached the subject as a serious academic inquiry, reflecting both the popularity of spiritualism after the Civil War and the university's commitment to fulfilling Seybert's conditions. In its 1887 preliminary report, represented by this publication, however, the investigators concluded that they had found no convincing evidence that mediums could communicate with the dead, and the commission was subsequently dissolved without issuing a final report. …
