Apparitions (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An influential ghost reference book from "a pioneer of paranormal research who developed theories still relevant today" (The Spook Isles). Apparitionsdelves into G.N.M Tyrrell's ghost classification method, an interesting and thought-provoking system that is still in use today. Tyrrell's four categories include experiments, crisis, post-mortem and ghosts. Tyrrell develops the idea that the apparition may be a way for the unconscious part of the mind to bring to consciousness information that has been paranormally acquired-in crisis cases, for example. He introduces an evocative metaphor of a mental 'stage-carpenter,' behind the scenes in the unconscious part of the mind, and constructing the quasi-perceptual experience that eventually appears on the stage of consciousness, so that it embodies paranormal information in a symbolic way. Tyrrell first introduced the term out-of-body-experience in this book. Apparitions is part of The Paranormal, a seriesthat resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.

Autorenporträt

George Nugent Merle Tyrrell (1879-1952) was a famous English parapsychologist and he became president at the Society for Psychical research in 1945, he was also a student of the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation where he was a pioneer in developmental radio. Tyrrell joined the Society for Psychical Research in 1908 and in 1923 completely devoted himself to the subject, here he conducted experiments into precognition and telepathy and became very interested in spiritualism. He seemed sceptical about ghost's and he believed them to be telepathic and only existed in regions of human personality and outside the field of normal consciousness.
Tyrrell was also one of the first investigators to introduce topics of a supernatural nature into mainstream psychology. He wrote books about science and psychical phenomena, well known books including, 'The personality of man' (1946) Apparitions (1953) which was often classified as a classic theoretical study of psychical research.
