Description | In this fascinating reprint from 1928, the reader is taken on a whirlwind tour of honorable citizens who were impartial witnesses to psychic occurences. Of particular note are James Esdaille, the stalward physician known for operating using only hypnotism as his anesthetic, who claims to have produced the hypnotic state via telepathy, and Dr. A.A. Liebeault, the teacher of Bernheim and thus the father of modern hypnotism, who claims that while in a hypnotic state, a woman announced a death using automatic writing which was occuring simultaneously 140 miles away. |
