Olcott is a master Buddhist occultist...a co-founder of the Theosophical Society, he gives us his concise journal of phantom encounters and mediumship from a cast-out family from New England. Pre-warned by Madame Blavatsky, not to dabble or associate with mediums, not yet initiated in the mystery teachings, Olcott nonetheless ventured to New England to study this family. These are the real ghost stories of the late 1800's and early 1900's America---a time when modern convenience was only a thought and experimental work. A must read for any adept finding great veneration in Blavatsky, Besant's, and Colonel Olcott's legacy.
