Psychic phenomena : $b a brief account of the physical manifestations observed in psychical research

"Psychic Phenomena: A Brief Account of the Physical Manifestations Observed in Psychical Research" by Edward T. Bennett is a non-fiction depiction of unusual occurrences tied to spiritualism and the world of psychical research. It focuses on scientifically observed events like objects moving on their own and peculiar sounds or lights appearing at séances. Written by the assistant secretary of the Society for Psychical Research, who uses the organization’s investigations, the piece emphasizes that these phenomena challenge traditional scientific ideas. The book begins by explaining that it will mostly discuss physical happenings backed by proof rather than mental influences. The author acknowledges how hard it is to make these events happen dependably in a controlled environment, but suggests that ongoing research could provide valuable knowledge, presenting reports from both well-known mediums and research committees to bolster credibility.
