Inferences from Haunted Houses and Haunted Men

Inferences from Haunted Houses and Haunted Men, published in 1901 by J. W. Harris, is a scientific exploration of hauntings and supernatural phenomena, particularly their connections to hypnotism. Harris examines various accounts of ghostly encounters, including experiences at a location known as B---- House, and argues that many apparitions may stem from mental disturbances linked to hypnotic influences rather than actual supernatural entities. The book advocates for a rigorous scientific approach to understanding these phenomena, blending anecdotal evidence with psychological and physiological analysis.
