Description

In this thoughtful survey of early twentieth‑century psychical research, the author guides listeners through the surprising evidence that emerged from rigorous investigations of the supernatural. Beginning with the everyday fear of ghosts, the narrative separates hoaxes from genuine phenomena, showing how trained investigators applied scientific standards to experiences once dismissed as mere superstition. The tone remains measured, inviting curiosity while respecting both skeptics and believers.

The book then moves on to explore telepathy, clairvoyance, automatic writing and the subtle ways the subconscious can surface in seemingly inexplicable events. Real case studies illustrate how these abilities have been documented, offering a glimpse into what the author terms the “larger self” that may operate beyond ordinary consciousness. Listeners are left with a compelling invitation to reconsider the boundaries between mind and the unseen world.
