    About this ebook

    Apparitions is most influential in categorizing ghosts. These four categories include experiments, crisis, post-mortem and ghosts. Tyrrell's classification of phantoms is an interesting and thought provoking one, his system is been continued in its use today, demonstrating that he was ahead of his time.
    Tyrrell develops the idea that the apparition may be a way for the unconscious part of the mind to bring to consciousness information that has been paranormally acquiredin crisis cases, for example. He introduces an evocative metaphor of a mental ‘stage-carpenter’, behind the scenes in the unconscious part of the mind, and constructing the quasi-perceptual experience that eventually appears on the stage of consciousness, so that it embodies paranormal information in a symbolic way. Tyrell first introduced the term out-of-body-experience in this book.
    The Paranormal, the new ebook series from F&W Media International Ltd, resurrecting rare titles, classic publications and out-of-print texts, as well as new ebook titles on the supernaturalother-worldly books for the digital age.

    George N.M Tyrell

    George Nugent Merle Tyrrell (1879-1952) was a famous English parapsychologist and he became president at the Society for Psychical research in 1945, he was also a student of the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation where he was a pioneer in developmental radio. Tyrrell joined the Society for Psychical Research in 1908 and in 1923 completely devoted himself to the subject, here he conducted experiments into precognition and telepathy and became very interested in spiritualism. He seemed sceptical about ghost's and he believed them to be telepathic and only existed in regions of human personality and outside the field of normal consciousness. Tyrrell was also one of the first investigators to introduce topics of a supernatural nature into mainstream psychology. He wrote books about science and psychical phenomena, well known books including, 'The personality of man' (1946) Apparitions (1953) which was often classified as a classic theoretical study of psychical research.
