(1) Science and Psychical Phenomena (2) Psychical Experiences

Abstract

TO the impartial and independent observer, the relations between psychical research and spiritualism are always of interest. The one can scarcely be active without the other: co-operation is often urged and as often rejected; and a kind of armed neutrality is the result. The more earnest psychical researchers are perfectly well aware that as long as they support and treat with consideration the large number of dubious mediums who prey upon the credulous, their own claims to serious attention are put in jeopardy; whilst the spiritualists demand from them something more than passive inaction as the price for the privilege of investigating the more promising cases.
