    About this ebook

    Apparitions represent a rich collection of phenomena. They have been seen personifying the forms of the living and of the dead, at the exact time of the agent's death and often a considerable time after. This essay, chapter 16 of Psyhic Exploration, explores apparitions, haunting, and poltergeists. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.

      Apparitions, Hauntings, and Poltergeists

      D. Scott Rogo

      "Apparitions, Hauntings, and Poltergeists," copyright © 1974 by D. Scott Rogo. First published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons in 1974 as part of Psychic Exploration: A Challenge for Science. Current edition published by Cosimo Classics in 2015.

      Note to the Readers: This mini-ebook was earlier published as part of a compilation of essays in Psychic Exploration: A Challenge for Science, Understanding the Nature and Power of Consciousness (originally published in 1974; reprinted by Cosimo Books in 2011), edited by Apollo 14 astronaut, moonwalker, and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Edgar Mitchell.

      Each of the 28 chapters in the original Psychic Exploration was dedicated to a specific field of research in parapsychology, written by leading experts and scientists, such as Stanley Krippner, Montague Ullman, Charles Tart, Russel Targ, William Roll, Jean Houston, Willis Harman, and many others. With the advent of ebook technology, we feel that each of these unique essays deserve attention as a dedicated mini-ebook in addition to the complete version of Psychic Exploration.

      If you prefer exploring specific subjects or authors, below is a complete list of the individual essays, all available as mini-ebooks. On the other hand, if you are interested in all of the essays and the field of parapsychology in general, we encourage you to read the original Psychic Exploration, available at online bookstores in both paperback and ebook versions.

      However you decide to read these essays, we know you will receive a thorough introduction to psychic research in its many forms, from what is now considered a classic in the parapsychology genre. Part of the proceeds of this mini-ebook will benefit the Institute of Noetic Sciences (www.noetic.org).
