Photographing the Spirit World: Images from Beyond the Spectrum by Cyril Permutt

Description: Photographing the Spirit World:Images from Beyond the Spectrum templateBy Cyril Permutt Rare Hardbound: 185 Pages — Publisher: Aquarian Press, UK (1988)From the front flap: "Man has always been obsessed by thoughts of the supernormal. Somehow he has never quite accepted that, when he dies, he ceases to exist for eternity. Post mortem survival, telepathy, telekinesis and all the other phenomena which involve experiences beyond those we confront every day, have held an irresistible fascination for humanity from the earliest times. However, until the 19th century, belief or disbelief was very much a matter of personal choice. Hard evidence was always impossible to come by. With the invention of photography all that changed. At last there existed a means of recording supernormal phenomena so that they could be examined and evaluated at a later date. However, the new medium was open to trickery and fraud so it was left to small bands of dedicated researchers to carry out experiments under conditions of such tight security that no one would be able to doubt their claims. Cyril Permutt has made it his business not only to collect the photographs of these early researchers, but also to investigate the work of modern mediums and to conduct numerous experiments himself. Over a period of many years his Bureau for the Investigation of Supernormal Photographs has built up a collection of material which, he firmly believes, proves beyond any reasonable doubt that supernormal phenomena exist and can be recorded successfully. However, being a dedicated researcher, he has not been content with the material he has collected so far and continues to search for more convincing and dramatic proof. One of the main purposes of the present book is to show readers that, with a bare minimum of equipment, they too may conduct valuable research in a field where rewarding results may be obtained. So far, many members of the scientific establishment have failed to take this area of research seriously, but Mr. Permutt maintains that, as the body of evidence grows daily stronger and more reliable, the time will come when supernormal photography will receive the acknowledgement it deserves. CYRIL PERMUTT is a well-known and highly respected collector of photographic antiques. His wvork in this field led him to take an interest in supernormal photographs and, for many years, he has built up a considerable collection of these. He launched his Bureau for the Investigation of Supernormal photographs in an attempt to collate all the available evidence on this fascinating subject. He has frequently appeared on television and radio and has given expert advice in many cases involving the supernormal." Condition: VERY GOOD. Used - Very Good.
