Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings and Table-Tippings Exposed

"Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings and Table-Tippings Exposed" by Charles Grafton Page is a disapproving exploration into the mid-1800s craze of communicating with spirits which the author believes is rooted in trickery. Page directly argues against the idea that these practices are real, instead portraying them as deceptions used by swindlers to take advantage of others. He shares firsthand accounts of his investigations into spirit-rapping and table-tipping, revealing how they are nothing more than simple tricks done by people like the Fox sisters, who convinced many Americans that spiritualism was real. Through experiments and observations, Page focuses on showing the human influence behind these events, rather than blaming paranormal forces. The author pleads with readers to use logic and reason when considering these claims.
