Telepathy, Clairvoyance and Precognition: A Re-Evaluation of Some Fascinating Case Studies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798407031956)

Have you ever read about a telepathic experience and wondered if it was true? Or heard about a fulfilled premonition and wondered if your future already exists? This unique book explores these questions through a rigorous re-examination of many cases of claimed telepathic, clairvoyant, and precognitive experiences, known collectively as Extrasensory Perception (ESP). The author finds non-ESP explanations for some famous cases, including three that are unlikely to have happened at all. However, there are many other cases where there seems to be no alternative but to accept ESP as a working hypothesis.
What conclusions will you reach about the fascinating cases re-examined in this book? Did Mark Twain foresee in a dream the body of his brother in a metal coffin six weeks before his brother died? What about the Chaffin Will case where a jury accepted post-mortem communication as legal evidence of a second Will? Did the deceased C.S. Lewis visit Canon Philips as an apparition? How is it possible that a stolen harp was found through map dowsing from 1800 miles away? Every case examined is full of unexpected twists and turns.
These essays offer not just thought-provoking insights into science and the mind, but many rich human characters, experiences and adventures. A Scottish heiress attempts to fly in secret across the Atlantic in 1928; an arctic explorer makes groundbreaking experiments in telepathy; dogs make impossible epic journeys home; and magnificent men brave atrocious conditions as fighter pilots in two world wars.
The author also explores the idea that what people have said about their state of mind during an ESP experience might help to explain behaviour in animals - for example, the extraordinary homing instinct in dogs, or the migratory impulse in birds and other species.
This thoughtful and well referenced book will keep you reading to the end.
