Can discarnate entities take possession of human beings? We consider an academic text that attempts to build a serious case by drawing on the work of Frederic Myers and considering evidence offered by the nature of dissociative states and hypnosis.

The text under discussion is The Science of Spirit Possession, second edition, by Terence Palmer (Newcastle, UK: Cambridge Scholars). Available at: https://tinyurl.com/4ecs3xen (amazon.com).

To find out more about Palmer’s work, see the discussion between him and Jeffrey Mishlove, https://tinyurl.com/bddh7t9m (youtube.com), and Palmer’s website (“Healing the Wounded Spirit”), https://tinyurl.com/4dm8b5kp (terencepalmer.co.uk). Accessed August, 2024.
