True Ghost Stories

by Hereward Carrington

Overview

Hereward Carrington (1880-1958) was one of the most fascinating psychical researchers of the early twentieth century. He studied numerous mediums, debunked many, but believed in others-particularly Eusapia Palladino. Carrington wrote extensively about his adventures with the Italian psychic in Eusapia Palladino and Her Phenomena, as well as other books. He also famously had an affair with Mina "Margery" Crandon, known as the Witch of Lime Street, in the 1920s.

Carrington's interest in the unusual led to a prolific writing career, including this title, which is a faithful reproduction of the original 1915 edition-including the advertisements at the back. The original "Publisher's Note" included in this edition offers more information about this unique author.

As for the true ghost stories found within these pages, well, they are true in that they are indeed ghost stories. But whether there's truth to the stories is for the reader to decide.

About the Author

Hereward Carrington was a well-known American who was born in Britain on October 17, 1880. He died on December 26, 1958. Some of the most famous cases of what seemed to be psychic ability at the time were his subjects, and he wrote more than 100 books on paranormal and psychical research, conjuring and stage magic, and alternative medicine. Carrington promoted fruitarianism and had bogus ideas about how to lose weight. Carrington joined the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) in 1907. From that year until 1908, he worked as James Hyslop's assistant, which is when he became known as an ASPR investigator. Carrington wrote to famous people of the time, like Israel Regardie, Nandor Fodor, Aleister Crowley, and Sylvan Muldoon, who was one of the first people to study astral projection and with whom he wrote three books, including The Projection of the Astral Body (1929) and The Phenomena of Astral Projection (1951).
