About This Book
The author offers a practical guide to observing and testing metapsychical phenomena, combining methodological advice with detailed first-person reports of experiments and spontaneous occurrences. Emphasis is placed on rigorous observation, training the senses, and distinguishing genuine effects from fraud or self-deception, while acknowledging that current explanations remain provisional. The work includes critical commentary on peers' approaches, contributions from experimental scientists, and several case accounts that illustrate recurring patterns and investigative challenges, concluding that systematic accumulation of carefully recorded facts is needed before theory can provide satisfactory explanations.
