Confounding as it does commonsense notions of time and causality, it is perhaps the most metaphysically offensive of rogue phenomena. In the past 130 years, a number of thoughtful investigators—none of them either naïve or foolish—have studied a growing collection incidents, all carefully vetted (excepting Rhine’s popularly solicited cases [below]). With the exception of the first author, Eleanor Sidgwick, who drew on a scant six years of evidence and found it tantalizing but insufficient, these investigators have repeatedly come to the generally reluctant conclusion that true precognition (or something identical to it with a different name) exists. -

Ghost Stories and Paranormal Research in the Nineteenth Century in Mary Louisa Molesworth and Ada Goodrich Freer
Apparitions and Appearances: Ghost Stories and Paranormal Research in the Nineteenth Century in Mary Louisa Molesworth and Ada Goodrich Freer Muhamet Alijaj Abstract Literature on the supernatural became very popular in Victorian society. Ghost stories became widespread and veridical literature and studies on the paranormal arose as well. This essay will deal with an example of fiction, The Rippling Train by Molesworth and a non-fictional investigation, The Alleged Haunting of Bellechin House by Ada Goodrich Freer. The essay will show that while both differ in intent, both represent Victorian angst in terms of the ability to empirically determine reality and its shortcomings as well as attempts to subvert power structures though writing about apparitions. 'Let's tell ghost stories then,' said Gladys. 'Aren't you tired of them? One hears nothing else nowadays.’ Thus begins Mary Louisa Molesworth’s The Rippling Train (1887). Ghost stories during the Victorian era were intensely popular thanks in large part to the repeal of the newspaper tax in 1885 which saw many relatively cheap periodical publishing from Tinsley’s Magazine to Dickens’ All the Year Round. Ghost stories featured prominently in them and fuelled the Victorian taste for the supernatural. However, these ghost stories would resemble more the realist fiction of the era than gothic literature, and the later half of the Victorian period saw the rise of collections of true ghost stories. This fascination fuelled the creation of societies like the Society for Psychical Research, which tried to ascertain the true causes of paranormal evidence.1 Unfortunately, ghost stories have been ignored for the most part by literary scholars. -

The Resurrection of Frederic Myers
THE RESURRECTION OF FREDERIC MYERS Mark B. Ryan, Ph.D. Cholula, Puebla, Mexico ABSTRACT: As the transpersonal movement develops, it comes to understand more about its precursors and its own intellectual history. Current scholarship has renewed interest in a major forebear, the British psychological investigator F. W. H. Myers (1843–1901), who can be credited with the first comprehensive theory of the unconscious mind. Myers’s transpersonal perspective is evident in his rigorously empirical methodology; his assertion of the reality of the spiritual and the inadequacies of materialism; his expansive concept and map of the psyche, as encompassing a spectrum of states of consciousness; his view of the unconscious as a vehicle of transcendent experience and higher potential, reaching beyond the self; and his belief in the evolution of consciousness. Though his work received little attention in the century after his death, recent writings have prompted a rediscovery of his pioneering ideas. If life after death is not a grand illusion, the soul of Frederic William Henry Myers has cause to celebrate. After a century of neglect, the prolific British psychological investigator, dismissed by successors for his preoccupation with mediumistic phenomena and with demonstrating an afterlife, is once again getting his due, his reputation regaining an earthly immortality, whether or not his spirit is enjoying a heavenly one. The transpersonal orientation in psychology has forged an intellectual milieu in which Myers’s investigations seem courageous, some of his innovative theories ingenious, some of his insights prescient. This article will chart the recent rise in his reputation, delineate aspects of his relevance to contemporary transpersonal thought, and argue that he deserves recognition as a major precursor of the transpersonal movement. -

1 A critical examination of the methodology and evidence of the first and second generation elite leaders of the Society for Psychical Research with particular reference to the life, work and ideas of Frederic WH Myers and his colleagues and to the assessment of the automatic writings allegedly produced post-mortem by him and others (the cross- correspondences). Submitted by Trevor John Hamilton to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Publication (PT) in June 2019.This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and no material has been previously submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature…………………………… 2 Abstract This thesis outlines the canons of evidence developed by the elite Cambridge- based and educated leaders of the Society for Psychical Research to assess anomalous phenomena, and second, describes the gradual shift away from that approach, by their successors and the reasons for such a partial weakening of those standards, and the consequences for the general health of the SPR .It argues that, for a variety of reasons, this methodology has not always been fully appreciated or described accurately. Partly this is to do with the complex personality of Myers who provoked a range of contradictory responses from both contemporaries and later scholars who studied his life and work; partly to do with the highly selective criticisms of his and his colleagues’ work by TH Hall (which criticisms have entered general discourse without proper examination and challenge); and partly to a failure fully to appreciate how centrally derived their concepts and approaches were from the general concerns of late-Victorian science and social science. -
