Synopsis

Excerpt from The New Black Magic: And the Truth About the Ouija-Board

It should be pointed out that this book does not attempt to deal with abnormal phenomena which occur spontaneously - with apparitions or forms resembling the dead coming unsought for, such as have been recorded in all ages of the world's history and of which we have had accounts during the great war. Such phenomena follow some law which is quite unknown to us, or they are due to some act of God necessarily outside our knowledge and beyond our control. The evidence in favor of these phenomena is of a varied kind and is, in many respects, very conflicting. It is difficult, in most instances, to distinguish the objective from the purely subjective. In a variety of cases the phantom seen is manifestly the creation of the percipient's own brain. The dead, with few exceptions, present themselves, not in the form in which they appeared when last seen on earth, but in that in which the percipient best remembers them. Their statements respecting the other life and their new environment, too, vary considerably and are often quite contradictory.
