Carlos S. Alvarado, PhD, Research Fellow, Parapsychology Foundation
Many of us are not going out much due to the virus crisis. Recently someone told me in an email that they are bored at home. With that in mind, now is a good time to catch up with the old psychic literature.
Because my main interest is the history of parapsychology, I would like to present some reading suggestions about important books published before 1923 freely available online that I hope you will enjoy.
I will start with some general overview books published in English, and will cover other titles in future blogs.
