Odic-Magnetic Letters (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Odic-Magnetic Letters DID you ever see a ghost? At least some Of your familiar acquaintances have seen them. Many persons whom you know by name have Seen them; very respectable people too, serious, honest, sensible and stout-hearted as men need be. The Old belief in ghosts is cherished by many Of those whom you meet every day in society; perhaps they are ashamed to confess it, but they still have-the belief, and if you get them in a confidential humor and approach them in the right manner, you may hear some of them tell very strange things; Did you ever read Mrs. Crowe's nag/it Side of Nature? And Stilling's Pneumatology? They are earnest pleas for the doctrine Of ghosts; or rather they are collections of ghost stories, interspersed with a few arguments to defend the truth and genuine ness of the stories. Stilling was a devout and much esteemed German author, a friend of Goethe. Mrs. Crowe is a lady of excellent standing in society and a novellist of reputation.
