What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

The first edition.

Henry Maudsley's fascinating study on supernatural occurrences, being an early example of anomalistic psychology. In this study, Maudsley argues that supernatural sightings, such as seeing ghosts and apparitions, can be attributed to errors in observation such as coincidence, superstition and collusion, or mental disorders, such as mania, hallucinations, delusion and more.

In the publisher's original cloth.
