Enriched Edition. Spiritualist Case Studies of Spirit Possession, Mediumship, and Early Psychical ResearchBy Dead Carl Wickland
Length21h 8m
About this audiobook
30 Years Among the Dead is a landmark work of early twentieth-century Spiritualist literature, blending case history, séance transcript, polemic, and therapeutic manifesto. In it, Dr. Carl A. Wickland presents decades of encounters with what he understood as "spirit obsession," arguing that many forms of mental distress arose from discarnate entities attached to the living. Its style is documentary and earnest, situated between psychical research, alternative psychiatry, and the broader Anglo-American Spiritualist movement. Carl A. Wickland, a Swedish-born American physician, wrote from the unusual position of a medical practitioner deeply committed to mediumistic investigation. His wife, Anna Wickland, served as the principal medium through whom spirits were purportedly contacted and instructed. Their shared work, conducted at a time when psychiatry, hypnotism, and Spiritualism all contested the boundaries of mind and soul, shaped the book's distinctive fusion of clinical observation and metaphysical conviction. This volume is recommended for readers interested in the history of Spiritualism, paranormal belief, and the cultural prehistory of modern mental health debates. Whether approached as testimony, artifact, or controversial therapeutic record, it remains a fascinating document of its era's struggle to explain suffering, identity, and survival beyond death.
