Excerpt from Enigmas of Psychical Research

The present volume may be considered as a sup plement to the one on Science and a Future Life, which has been published. In that work I gave a very inadequate summary of the phenomena bearing upon Telepathy and Apparitions, and I said nothing what ever regarding several other types of phenomena hav ing an equal scientific interest. I was' occupied in that volume with facts related more directly to the question of survival after death, especially as experi mentally supported. In the present book I have seized the opportunity to go over the whole field of the supernormal. While I have discussed Telepathy and Apparitions more exhaustively than before, I have added much material on Crystal Gazing, Coinci dental Dreams, Clairvoyance, and Premonitions, with some illustrations of Mediumistic Phenomena without involving these with the more scientific case of Mrs. Piper. I have tried to give all of them that unity of interest and meaning which are due to the super normal having psychological character and demand ing more scientific investigation than it has yet re ceived.
