ABSTRACT

The whole question of whether or not the paranormal is improbable rests on whether the world with which we are acquainted embraces everything that exists and on whether its principles, which we know, apply universally and include every principle there is. Besides the modern and strictly scientific evidence for extrasensory perception, there is the evidence of carefully conducted sittings with mediums. There is also of recorded automatic speech and writing; there is evidence of psychometry, in which contact with an object brings to the sensitive knowledge about its owner, or others who have touched it; there is the evidence for strange physical happenings in the presence of entranced mediums.
