Excerpt from Are the Dead Alive?: The Problem of Physical Research That the World's Leading Scientists Are Trying to Solve, and the Progress They Have Made About the middle of the last century there appeared a new class of phenomena, in some respects even more bewilderingly contrary to the existing laws of science. Mysterious rappings were heard, with no one to make them, and musical instruments played when no natural explanation seemed possible. Solid articles, especially tables, danced violently around and occasion ally rose oi their own accord into the air and ¿oated there. Rarely, persons were levitated in the same way. Under favorable conditions forms were said to appear and disappear instantaneously. For these and other similar wonderful occurrences science had no explanation, they were contrary to all her established laws. So science denied that they ever occurred, and those who witnessed them, in default of any other explanation, ascribed them to the work of spirits of the dead.
