Phenomena of Materialisation: A Contribution to the Investigation of Mediumistic Teleplastics (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Phenomena of Materialisation: A Contribution to the Investigation of Mediumistic Teleplastics It is not without some misgiving that I publish in the present work the results of four years' observations of the medium Eva C. For the observations of mediumistic phenomena hitherto made, do not, up to now, in spite of their continuity and their independent agreement, and in spite of the high reputation of the authors whose names vouch for the facts stated, fulfil the requirements of an exact scientific method. This may, however, be due to the character of the occurrences themselves. Any dealings with the discredited so-called "spiritistic" phenomena are attended, even now, by certain disadvantages to the investigator. Not only are his powers of observation, his critical judgment and his credibility brought into question, not only is he exposed to ridicule by the reproach of charlatanism - as, for example, was the famous criminal anthropologist, Lombroso - but he even incurs the danger of being regarded as mentally deficient, or even as insane, as was the case with the astronomer, Zollner, and the English chemist, Crookes. The open or secret opponents of scientific men thus discredited are in the habit of deriving some advantage from the destruction of their scientific authority. Recognising this fact, the well-known French psychologist, Charles Richet, has for the present entirely withdrawn from any dealings with the forbidden subject. As to the means sometimes adopted by those who wish to prove the supposed fraud underlying mediumistic phenomena, the experience of the author furnishes an instructive contribution. Convinced that the author was the victim of expert deceptions practised by two women, i.e., the medium Eva C. and her protectress Mme. Bisson, somebody secretly and without the author's knowledge instructed a well-known Parisian detective office to watch these two ladies. The employees of this firm, besides gathering the necessary information about
