Overview

Excerpt from Psychical Research for the Plain Man It has unfortunately happened in the matter of evidence for supernormal occurrences, with which is involved the hope of life after death, that the judge and the jury, the expert and the man in the street, seldom or never come into contact. For nearly forty years the Society for Psychical Research acting as judge, has been summing up in an impartial manner the evidence for and against supernormal occurrences; but the jury, the general public, knows practically nothing about either the evidence or the summing up. The general public derives its ideas either from paragraphs in newspapers, which mostly turn the whole thing into ridicule, without argument or from books of 'ghost stories written by people who treat the existence of beings they call 'elementals, ' as an established fact, and mention chats with Charlotte Bronte as everyday occurrences.
