Crookes Endorses Telepathy and Brain Wave Research
The Times Herald reports Prof William Crookes calls telepathy a real field and outlines thought transference via a telepathic chain as a provisional but promising study. France and Italy advance experiments by Dr J B Ermacora and Dr Baraduc, who claim photographic thought waves and a psychic fluid exist. Dr Baraduc describes magnetometers and left right force emissions. Annie Besant comments on color and form of thought images, while a child case by Dr Ermacora shows dream-informed experiences in Angelina Cavazgzoni.
