Philosophy & Psychology
An essay towards a theory of apparitions
John Ferriar
70 pages~1 hr 24 min read15 chaptersFree this month
Ghosts are real experiences with natural causes: so argued a Manchester physician in 1813. John Ferriar's theory of apparitions explains spectral visitors as renewed impressions of the brain, waking images that need no otherworldly source, with case histories to match. A founding document of the scientific ghost story. Keep the lights on and read anyway.
Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
