'The Night Side of Nature' by Catherine Crowe is a groundbreaking study of the supernatural that challenges the dismissive attitude towards paranormal phenomena by the educated classes. Crowe's work is based on a vast collection of compelling anecdotes of hauntings, ghostly events, and psychic experiences that are too numerous and well-known to be disregarded as mere imagination. She argues that people are spirits that continue to exist after death, and that their moral state in life determines their spiritual state in death. Crowe's work remains relevant today as it explores the science and philosophy behind the supernatural, making it an essential read for anyone interested in parapsychology and the occult.

This book explores the phenomenon of second sight in nineteenth-century literature and culture. Second sight is a form of prophetic vision associated with the folklore of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Described in Gaelic as the An-da-shealladh or ‘the two sights’, those in possession of this extraordinary power are said to foresee future events like the death of neighbour, the arrival of strangers into the community, the success or failure of a fishing trip. From the late seventeenth century onwards, rumours of this strange faculty attracted the attention of numerous scientists, travel writers, antiquarians, poets and artists. Focusing on the nineteenth century, this book examines second sight in relation to mesmerism and phrenology, modern spiritualism and anthropology, romance literature and folklorism and finally, psychical research and Celtic mysticism. Tracing the migration of a supposedly ‘Scottish’ tradition through various sites of nineteenth-century popular culture, it explores questions of nationhood and identity alongside those posed by supernatural phenomena.

Excerpt from The Night Side of Nature, or Ghosts and Ghost Seers, Vol. 1 of 2 Now, although we cannot believe in the existence of Charon, the three-headed dog, or Alecto, the serpent-haired fury, it may be worth while to consider whether the per suasion of the ancients with regard to that which concerns us all so nearly, namely, the destiny that awaits us when we have shaken cd this mortal coil, may not have some foun.

This is a collection of eight ghost stories, written by the remarkably prolific husband and wife team of Claude and Alice Askew, centering on Aylmer Vance, an investigator of the supernatural. Dexter, the narrator, meets Vance during a fishing holiday and Vance tells him three ghost stories on successive nights, each story involving Vance more closely in the action. The fourth story brings Dexter himself into the action, and reveals him to have unsuspected clairvoyant powers. The remaining stories feature Vance and Dexter as a sort of Holmes-and-Watson team investigating incidents not all of which prove to have supernatural causes. The final story, "The Fear" is very effective, describing a house in which a general feeling of extreme fear grips the inhabitants at various times and locations; the emotion of fear is effectively evoked and an interesting tale is constructed as Vance and Dexter work to assign the fear "a local habitation and a name".
