"Apparitions and Thought-Transference: An Examination of the Evidence for Telepathy" by Frank Podmore is a late 19th-century analysis of telepathy, carefully studying experiments and stories of people sharing thoughts without using their senses. As the Society for Psychical Research emerged, the author looks at how science has previously investigated psychic phenomena. The book questions if thought-transference is real and explores challenges such as observation bias, perception errors, and how to conduct solid experiments. The author takes a cautiously curious approach as he scrutinizes the unproven world of telepathy.
