About this book

This volume is the first of two parts of an enquiry by Maurice Maeterlinck that grew too large for one book. It deals with apparitions and hallucinations, haunted houses, presentiments, omens and premonitions, and the Elberfeld horses, drawing on the work of the Society for Psychical Research. The promised second part was to take up Lourdes and other subjects. Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translated it into English, and the introduction ties it to the author's essay on death, which appeared in English as Our Eternity.
