Publisher's Synopsis
""Researches In The Phenomena Of Spiritualism"" is a book written by William Crookes, a renowned British chemist and physicist. The book is a detailed account of Crookes' experiments and investigations into the phenomena of spiritualism, a belief system that involves communication with the spirits of the dead. Crookes was a prominent scientist of his time and his interest in spiritualism was met with skepticism from his colleagues. However, he was determined to approach the subject with scientific rigor and conducted numerous experiments to test the validity of spiritualist claims. The book includes descriptions of Crookes' experiments with mediums and the various phenomena that he observed, such as levitation, materialization, and telekinesis. He also discusses the controversial topic of ectoplasm, a substance believed to be produced by mediums during s�����ances. Crookes' findings were met with mixed reactions, with some applauding his scientific approach to spiritualism and others dismissing his work as pseudoscience. Nevertheless, ""Researches In The Phenomena Of Spiritualism"" remains an important historical document in the study of spiritualism and paranormal phenomena.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
