Excerpt from From Matter to Spirit: The Result of Ten Years' Experience in Spirit Manifestations; Intended as a Guide to Enquirers
It is but now and then that a preface is contributed by one who is not the author: and only now and not then, or else then and not now, that the writer of the preface declares he will not stand committed either for or against the conclusions of the book. But this happens in the present case. I am satisfied, by the evidence of my own senses, of some of the facts narrated: of some others I have evidence as good as testimony can give. I am perfectly convinced that I have both seen, and heard in a manner which should make unbelief impossible, things called spiritual which cannot be taken by a rational being to be capable of explanation by imposture, coincidence, or mistake. So far I feel the ground firm under me. But when it comes to what is the cause of these phenomena, I find I cannot adopt any explanation which has yet been suggested. If I were bound to choose among things which I can conceive, I should say that there is some sort of action of some combination of will, intellect, and physical power, which is not that of any of the human beings present.
