Telepathy, Genuine and Fraudulent

What happens when a trained investigator puts telepathy to the test? W. W. Baggally spent years examining claims of mind-reading, sifting genuine phenomena from elaborate deception. This book, with a preface by Sir Oliver Lodge, documents his rigorous experiments with a subject named Miss Telbin, along with historical investigations conducted by the Society for Psychical Research. Baggally wasn't a believer or a skeptic. He was a reporter, faithful to what he observed. He exposes the trickery behind public demonstrations of telepathy while taking genuine experimental results seriously. The result is a fascinating window into early scientific attempts to understand the human mind's hidden capacities, and a reminder that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary scrutiny.
