Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and causes of table-movings and spirit rappings, phenomena which caused a widespread sensation across the United States in the 19th century. The author provides an overview of how the craze originated, and how the phenomena spread rapidly across the coun…try, involving people of all ages, classes, and professions. The author also examines the various theories that attempted to account for the phenomena, some attributing it to supernatural causes, while others suggested physical or psychological explanations. The book concludes by asserting the fraudulent nature of the claims of supernatural origin in most cases and the self-deception of honest operators due to psychological conditions. It underscores how the prevailing excitement of the time and the eagerness to discover novelty can lead to a suspension of critical thinking and an acceptance of the marvelous. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
