Second edition. From the Occult and Sciences series. Hereward Carrington (1880-1958) an established and respected British-born American who took on the role of a debunker by way of writing and investigating psychic phenomena. He wrote ambitiously on everything from alternative medicine, conjuring and stage magic, psychic research and of course the paranormal.
Carrington became a member of the American Society for Physical Research in 1907 and was deeply critical towards some paranormal phenomena. He relished exposing chicanery and hustlers engaged in fraudulent mediums including sealed-letter-reading, spirit photography, table turnings, mediums, materialization and what many bizarre magicians still use today.
