Delving into the perplexing realm of spirit rapping and table tipping, this book unmasks these phenomena as elaborate hoaxes perpetrated by fraudulent mediums. The author, an esteemed scientist, meticulously dissects each trick, revealing the clever techniques employed to deceive the gullible. By exposing the machinations behind these purported supernatural occurrences, the author challenges the credibility of spiritualism, arguing that it exploits the human desire for the paranormal and serves as a tool for financial exploitation. However, the book is far from dismissive; it delves into the historical and psychological underpinnings of witchcraft and sorcery, tracing their evolution from ancient demonology to the present-day craze. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the psychological mechanisms that make people susceptible to such deceptions. This book is an invaluable resource for skeptics, a fascinating read for those interested in the history of superstition, and an essential guide for anyone seeking to navigate the murky waters of spiritualism.
