Apparitions

Apparitions is an absorbing and authoritative exploration of a subject long obscured by superstition and fear the sensory hallucination, or apparition. The author, past presi dent of England’s famed Society for Psychical Research, offers logical, impartial explanations for phenomena too often dismissed as ”
‘supernatural.” He demonstrates effec-
tively that scientific investigation of apparitions can make a big contribution to our understanding of the human mind and personality.
Basing his theories on a vast collection of psychical cata,
Mr. Tyrrell suggests that ” ghosts” are subjective and tele-pathic, created in regions of the personality outside the field of normal consciousness. He illustrates this argument with over sixty dramatic, well-documented case histories, establishing a clear relationship between such phenomena and modern psychology.
“An amazingly close thought, brilliant, integrated, all round consideration of the problem of apparitions. If you really want some exciting, serious reading on psychical research; if you really want something that will make you think and will give you lots of live, interesting and well-authenticated cases, I cannot urge upon you anything more important than Mr. Tyrrell’s book.”
