| Summary | "Adventurings in the Psychical" by H. Addington Bruce is a scientific publication written during the early 20th century. This work delves into the realms of psychological phenomena, particularly those that seem to defy natural explanation, such as ghosts and telepathy. Bruce presents a collection of documented experiences and scientific investigations surrounding the supernatural, aiming to legitimize the study of such aspects as integral to human personality and understanding. The opening of the book introduces the topic of ghosts, framing them as a universal fear rooted in human experience and superstition. Bruce begins by highlighting common reactions to ghostly phenomena, noting that even skeptics can feel unnerved in the face of uncanny experiences. He argues for the legitimacy of authentic ghost sightings while categorizing sham ghosts, described as products of delusion or environmental factors. Through compelling examples, including the experiences of researchers from the Society for Psychical Research, Bruce sets the stage to explore further psychical phenomena in subsequent chapters, emphasizing a scientific approach to understanding them.
