The Author's purpose of this book is to tell what he and others, under careful test conditions, have seen and heard in regard to psychic phenomena; many of the others are well equipped, trained observers. Funk is not attempting to discover anything; but is attempting to state clearly a problem and to urge others, better qualified, to the discovery of its solution.
