About This Book

The work surveys scientific investigations of alleged supernatural phenomena, presenting accounts of apparitions, telepathy, clairvoyance, automatic writing, and poltergeist episodes. It evaluates evidential methods used by investigators and explores psychological interpretations such as subconscious perception and dissociation. Several detailed case studies illustrate clinical and diagnostic aspects of abnormal experiences, and the book concludes by considering theoretical implications for personality and the notion of a larger self.
