The Night-Side of Nature; Or, Ghosts and Ghost-Seers

'The Night Side of Nature' by Catherine Crowe is a groundbreaking study of the supernatural that challenges the dismissive attitude towards paranormal phenomena by the educated classes. Crowe's work is based on a vast collection of compelling anecdotes of hauntings, ghostly events, and psychic experiences that are too numerous and well-known to be disregarded as mere imagination. She argues that people are spirits that continue to exist after death, and that their moral state in life determines their spiritual state in death. Crowe's work remains relevant today as it explores the science and philosophy behind the supernatural, making it an essential read for anyone interested in parapsychology and the occult.
