Autor

Walter W. Baggally, an esteemed and pioneering figure within the realm of psychical research, made significant contributions to the study of telepathy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notably remembered for his 1917 book, 'Telepathy, Genuine and Fraudulent', Baggally's work drew a distinct line between authentic telepathic phenomena and the chicanery often associated with the spiritualism of his era. His scholarly approach to the subject was characterized by rigorous investigation and a balanced perspective that sought to carefully scrutinize purported evidence of mental communication. Though not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, such as Frederic W. H. Myers or William James, Baggally's work provided a cornerstone for further scholarly discourse on the reality and potential mechanisms of telepathic exchange. While Baggally's writing dealt with esoteric topics, his methodology remained rooted in empirical observation and careful analysis, which has since served as a model for successive researchers in parapsychology and related fields. 'Telepathy, Genuine and Fraudulent' remains a critical and enduring work for those interested in the crossroads of science, psychology, and the unexplained.
