Dean Harris' "Essays in Occultism" is an intriguing collection of material related to subjects as diverse as demonic possession, bilocation, and spiritism. Largely chastising the spiritualist movement and warning about ouija boards and planchettes from a Catholic perspective, it provides numerous examples of the phenomena it lists, often from purportedly nonfiction sources.From cataleptic monks visiting a dying pope to an apparition that guides a ship to save stranded travelers on an iceberg, it is as much worth reading for its fantastical tales as for the underlying philosophy it espouses.
