Only 1 remaining
A poltergeist study of an alleged haunting in Thornton Heath, London, by the Hungarian parapsychologist, perhaps best know for his investigation into the case of Gef the talking mongoose.
Sigmund Freud is said to have read an early draft of this book, and found himself ‘richly rewarded.’
'Fodor pioneered the theory that poltergeists are external manifestations of conflicts within the subconscious mind rather than autonomous entities with minds of their own. He proposed that poltergeist disturbances are caused by human agents suffering from some form of emotional stress or tension.' (Timms, 2012)
New York: The Citadel Press, 1958. First edition. Hardcover. 223pp. Jacket in protective cover, lightly marked, corners rubbed, paper darkened, hinges starting but binding strong, small loss to title page edge and slight chips to a few pages throughout, otherwise very good copy.
