Phantasms of the Living Volume 1, published in 1886, is a book written by Edmund Gurney, Frederic W. H. Myers, and Frank Podmore. It is a collection of case studies and accounts of paranormal experiences, including apparitions, telepathy, and other psychic phenomena. The authors were members of the Society for Psychical Research, and their goal was to provide scientific evidence for the existence of these phenomena. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on spontaneous cases of apparitions and the second part focusing on experimental studies of telepathy. The authors analyze each case in detail, providing background information, witness statements, and their own interpretations. Phantasms of the Living Volume 1 is considered a landmark in the field of parapsychology and is still widely referenced and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
