Studies in Psychical Research is a comprehensive book written by Frank Podmore that delves into the realm of paranormal phenomena and its investigation. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the history of psychical research and the second part exploring various cases of paranormal experiences and their scientific analysis. In the first part, Podmore provides a detailed account of the origins of psychical research, including the work of early pioneers such as William Crookes and Alfred Russel Wallace. He also discusses the controversies and criticisms that surround the field of psychical research, particularly in relation to the credibility of mediums and spiritualists. The second part of the book contains a range of case studies that examine different aspects of paranormal phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. Podmore presents evidence for and against the existence of these phenomena, and highlights the challenges faced by researchers in attempting to study them scientifically. Overall, Studies in Psychical Research provides a fascinating insight into the history and practice of psychical research, and offers a balanced and thought-provoking analysis of paranormal experiences and their investigation.1897.
