Os Mortos Estão Vivos: Anna Prado E a Paranormalidade Na Belle Époque (1918- 1923)
Os mortos estão vivos: Anna Prado e a paranormalidade na Belle Époque (1918- 1923) RAFAEL DE LIMA RIBEIRO Introdução Brasil, década de 1920. Fatos paranormais incomuns agitam Belém do Pará, provocando repercussão em nível nacional e internacional1. Uma mulher protagoniza eventos, que vão desde efeitos luminosos à materialização de espíritos. A perseguição ao Espiritismo pela Igreja Católica ainda era muito vigente no período de atuação de Anna Prado, mas não perseguia apenas o Espiritismo. No fim do séc. XIX e início do séc. XX, a Igreja perseguiu a Maçonaria, a Teosofia, o Protestantismo e outros que não seguiam seus preceitos. Essa minoria passou a se unir perante tamanha perseguição. No Amazonas, a Teosofia realizava reuniões no prédio da Federação Espírita, o Protestantismo defendia o Espiritismo. “Eram anticlericais, livres-pensadores, abolicionistas, anarquistas, socialistas, positivistas, espíritas, maçons e protestantes. Cada qual se movendo dentro de espaços circunscritos, mas em busca de uma transformação de toda a sociedade. Eles tinham um objetivo em comum: a luta em defesa do Estado laico e da República”. ( DEL PRIORE, 2014: p. 161). Anna Prado foi uma médium de efeitos físicos que viveu no Pará, de naturalidade amazonense, e que foi pioneira dos fenômenos espíritas no Brasil. Esses fenômenos mediúnicos de efeitos físicos, classificados assim na Doutrina Espírita, são aqueles que são percebidos pelos sentidos ordinários de qualquer pessoa, não havendo necessidade de que se seja médium para perceber tais fenômenos. Dentre eles a materialização dos espíritos, a levitação de objetos, transporte, efeitos luminosos, dentre outros. Apesar de serem efeitos físicos são perceptíveis a qualquer pessoa, seja médium ou não. -

Historical Perspective
Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 717–754, 2020 0892-3310/20 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Early Psychical Research Reference Works: Remarks on Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science Carlos S. Alvarado [email protected] Submitted March 11, 2020; Accepted July 5, 2020; Published December 15, 2020 DOI: 10.31275/20201785 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—Some early reference works about psychic phenomena have included bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and general over- view books. A particularly useful one, and the focus of the present article, is Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934). The encyclopedia has more than 900 alphabetically arranged entries. These cover such phenomena as apparitions, auras, automatic writing, clairvoyance, hauntings, materialization, poltergeists, premoni- tions, psychometry, and telepathy, but also mediums and psychics, re- searchers and writers, magazines and journals, organizations, theoretical ideas, and other topics. In addition to the content of this work, and some information about its author, it is argued that the Encyclopaedia is a good reference work for the study of developments from before 1933, even though it has some omissions and bibliographical problems. Keywords: Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science; Nandor Fodor; psychical re- search reference works; history of psychical research INTRODUCTION The work discussed in this article, Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934), is a unique compilation of information about psychical research and related topics up to around 1933. Widely used by writers interested in overviews of the literature, Fodor’s work is part of a reference literature developed over the years to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about the early publications of the field by students of psychic phenomena. -
THE MEDIUMSHIP of ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship
THE MEDIUMSHIP OF ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship by HARRY EDWARDS Captain, Indian Army Reserve of Officers. Lieutenant, Home Guard. Parliamentary Candidate North Camberwell 1929 and North-West Camberwell 1936. London County Council Candidate 1928, 1931, 1934, 1937. Leader of the Balham Psychic Research Society. Author of ‘The Mediumship of Jack Webber’ First Published by: THE PSYCHIC BOOK CLUB 144 High Holborn, London, W.C. 1 FOREWORD Apart from the report by Mr. W. Harrison of the early development of Mr. Arnold Clare's mediumship, the descriptions of the séances, the revelations of Peter and the writing of this book took place during the war years 1940-41. As enemy action on London intensified, the physical séances ceased and in the autumn of 1940 were replaced by discussion circles. The first few circles took place in the author's house before a company of about twenty people. It was soon appreciated that the intelligence (known as Peter), speaking through the entranced medium, was of a high order and worthy of reporting. So these large discussion groups gave way to a small circle held in the medium's house, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clare, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Edwards and the author, an occasional visitor and with Mrs. W. B. Cleveland as stenographer. The procedure at these circles would be that, in normal white light, Mr. Clare would enter into a trance state. His Guide, Peter, taking control, would discourse upon the selected topic answering all questions fluently and without hesitation. Frequently, during these sittings, the air-raid sirens would be heard and the local anti- aircraft guns would be in action. -
Hans Driesch's Interest in the Psychical Research. a Historical
Medicina Historica 2017; Vol. 1, N. 3: 156-162 © Mattioli 1885 Original article: history of medicine Hans Driesch’s Interest in the Psychical Research. A Historical Study Germana Pareti Department of Philosophy and Science of Education, University of Torino, Italy Abstract. In recent times the source of interest in psychical research in Germany has been subject of relevant studies. Not infrequently these works have dealt with this phenomenon through the interpretation of the various steps and transformations present in Hans Driesch’s thought, from biology and medicine to neovital- ism, and finally to parapsychology. However these studies identified the causes of this growing involvement in paranormal research either in the historical context of “crisis” of modernity (or “crisis” in psychology), or in an attempt to “normalize” the supernatural as an alternative to the traditional experimental psychology. My paper aims instead at throwing light on the constant effort by Driesch to conceive (and found) psychical re- search as a science of the super-normal, using the methodology successfully adopted by the scientific community (especially German) in the late nineteenth century. Key words: Driesch, medicine, parapsychology Introduction. Driesch’s Life and Education one Zoologica in Naples, Italy.

ROBIN JOHN TILLYARD 1881-1937- a forgotten Australian psychical researcher. Introduction Robin Tillyard was born in Norwich, England on January 31 1881, and educated at Dover College, and Queens College Cambridge. From 1904-13 he was Mathematics and Science Master at Sydney Grammar School, Australia. From1914-17 he was a fellow in Zoology at Sydney University, becoming lecturer in Zoology in 1917. He served as chief of the Biological Department, Cawthorn Institute, New Zealand from 1921-28. In 1928 Tillyard became the Chief Entomologist to the Commonwealth of Australia. Tillyard became interested in psychical research and worked closely with Harry Price on his visits to England, in 1926 becoming a Vice-President of the National Laboratory of Psychical Research (NLPR). Tillyard became convinced of survival of the human personality after death through his experiences with “Margery” (Mrs Mina Stinson Crandon 1888-1941) in a solus sitting with Margery on August 10th 1928. In its August 18 1928 edition the scientific journal Nature published his findings. Then a tragic prediction through another medium was fulfilled on January 13 1937, when Dr Tillyard was killed in a car crash. 233 Working with Harry Price. In 1926 Tillyard co-operated with Price and conducted a special test séance with a young medium found by Harry Price in 1923, who became widely known as Stella C. -

Albert Von Schrenck-Notzing and Albert Moll1
Med. Hist. (2012), vol. 56(2), pp. 255–276. c The Author 2012. Published by Cambridge University Press 2012 doi:10.1017/mdh.2011.36 Policing Epistemic Deviance: Albert von Schrenck-Notzing and Albert Moll1 ANDREAS SOMMER∗ UCL Centre for the History of Psychological Disciplines, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK Abstract: Shortly after the death of Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862–1929), the doyen of early twentieth century German para psychology, his former colleague in hypnotism and sexology Albert Moll (1862–1939) published a treatise on the psychology and pathology of parapsychologists, with Schrenck-Notzing serving as a prototype of a scientist suffering from an ‘occult complex’. Moll’s analysis concluded that parapsychologists vouching for the reality of supernormal phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis and materialisations, suffered from a morbid will to believe, which paralysed their critical faculties and made them cover obvious mediumistic fraud. Using Moll’s treatment of Schrenck-Notzing as an historical case study of boundary disputes in science and medicine, this essay traces the career of Schrenck-Notzing as a researcher in hypnotism, sexology and parapsychology; discusses the relationship between Moll and Schrenck-Notzing; and problematises the pathologisation and defamation strategies of deviant epistemologies by authors such as Moll. Keywords: Academic Freedom, Boundary Work, Epistemic Deviance, Hypnotism, Parapsychology, Psychical Research Albert von Schrenck-Notzing: From Psychopathia sexualis to the Materialisation of Dreams Baron Albert von Schrenck-Notzing was born in Oldenburg, Germany, on 18 May 1862. After entering Munich University in 1883 to train as a physician, he studied hypnotism under Hippolyte Bernheim in Nancy, together with Sigmund Freud, in the late 1880s. -
