The Other Side: An Account of My Experiences with Psychic Phenomena

First UK edition, first impression (previously published in the USA).  viii, 312pp.  Brown publisher's cloth binding, gilt titles to spine.  8vo.  A little toning to text block edges and hint of toning on endpapers else volume is neat, clean, bright and tight.  In its original laminated dust wrapper, shelf worn and gently bumped at extreme edges. Bishop James A Pike's startling personal confrontation with the question of human immortality began with the suicide of his eldest son, Jim.  A few days later, things started to happen in the Bishop's apartment which could not apparently be explained.  After sixty separate incidents, the Bishop turned to other clergymen and to renown scientists and, finally,  when he still had no answers, to the well-known British psychic Mrs Ena Twigg.  An immensely moving chronicle of after life relationship between father and son in which a well-known former sceptic humbly offers his evidence for life beyond the grave.
