Shakespeare’s Ghosts LIVE : From Shakespeare’s Ghosts to Psychical Research

http://www.cambridgescholars.com/shakespeares-ghosts-live

Shakespeare is the most cited person throughout recent history and yet no one pays attention to his views on psychic phenomena.  It took another 300 years of paranormal experiences before scholars at Cambridge University helped to found the Society for Psychical Research. This brought scientific scrutiny to the area and the UK is now world leading in university research on this topic.

The book throws new light to many of the historical case reports from Shakespeare’s time onwards. It identifies the core experiences that transcend time and gives clues to an understanding of psychic phenomena. The book highlights Shakespeare’s insights. It shows how these relate to and even amplify the conclusions of later and on-going research.  In our time of disconnectedness from Nature, the authors give attention to neglected human experiences which represent an important part of life and which do in fact occur to most of us. In doing so, the book raises awareness against the emptiness of a zombie-like existence in today’s society and offers a new approach to life and death, and possibly to its deeper meaning.
