| Summary | "Hours with the Ghosts; Or Nineteenth Century Witchcraft" by Henry Ridgely Evans is an illustrated investigative work written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the phenomena of Spiritualism and Theosophy, exploring claims of spiritual communication, mediumship, and the various practices associated with these beliefs. Evans seems intent on providing a thorough examination of the practitioners and phenomena within these movements, critiquing their validity while also acknowledging their impact on society. The opening of the work sets the stage for a critical exploration of Spiritualism and Theosophy through a philosophical lens, pondering the age-old question of life after death. Evans draws upon historical references and personal observations, admitting his skepticism towards many supposedly supernatural events, particularly highlighting experiences with well-known mediums. He intends to dissect the phenomena associated with these practices, such as telepathy, table tilting, and spirit writing, suggesting that many of these can be explained through psychological or physical principles, rather than supernatural intervention.
