Explore the enigmatic world of site-specific mysterious phenomena in this compelling study by Ernesto Bozzano (1862–1943), also known as Signor Bozzano, an Italian parapsychologist and spiritualist. Self-taught and influenced by Herbert Spencer's philosophy, Bozzano delves into psychical research, presenting over 60 books and 200 papers on the subject. A fervent advocate of spiritism, he attributes paranormal occurrences to the survival of the human soul.
Bozzano's meticulous analysis, rooted in categorized investigations, forms the backbone of this exploration. The book meticulously compiles an inventory of potential explanations, ultimately leading to the intriguing hypothesis of life after death. Bozzano's intellectual journey unfolds against the backdrop of his contributions to Gwendolyn Kelley Hack's Modern Psychic Mysteries (1929), where he documents séances held at Millesimo Castle in 1927-1928, firmly convinced of genuine spiritualist phenomena. His subsequent work, Polyglot Mediumship (1932), chronicles 35 cases of xenoglossy, showcasing Bozzano as an early researcher into deathbed phenomena.
