Is Spiritualism Based on Fraud? - The Evidence Given by Sir A. C. Doyle and Others Drastically Examined - Joseph McCabe - Bog

Spiritualism is a religious movement based on the belief that spirits of the deceased exist and are able to communicate with living people. It began to develop in the 1840s and had reached its peak of popularity by the 1920s, particularly in English-speaking countries. First published in 1920, "Is Spiritualism Based on Fraud?" is an investigation into the authenticity of spiritualism and related claims by Joseph McCabe, examining evidence from many sources and accounts including Sir A. C. Doyle. Contents include: "Mediums: Black, White, and Grey", "How Ghosts are Made", "The Mystery of Raps and Levitations", "Spirit Photographs and Spirit Pictures", "A Chapter of Ghostly Accomplishments", "The Subtle Art of Clairvoyance", "Messages from the Spirit World", "Automatic Writing", and "Ghost-land and its Citizens". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
