Fact and Fancy in Spiritualism, Theosophy and Psychical Research is a book written by G. G. Hubbell that explores the history and practices of spiritualism, theosophy, and psychical research. The book is divided into three sections, each of which focuses on one of these topics. In the first section, Hubbell provides an overview of spiritualism and its origins, as well as its key beliefs and practices. He also discusses the role of mediums in spiritualism and the various types of phenomena that are associated with the movement.In the second section of the book, Hubbell turns his attention to theosophy, a spiritual movement that emerged in the late 19th century. He provides an overview of theosophical beliefs and practices, including the concept of karma, reincarnation, and the role of spiritual masters in guiding human evolution. Hubbell also discusses the influence of theosophy on other spiritual movements and its impact on Western culture.In the final section of the book, Hubbell explores psychical research, the scientific study of paranormal phenomena. He provides an overview of the history of psychical research, including the work of key figures such as William James and J. B. Rhine. Hubbell also discusses the various types of phenomena that have been studied by psychical researchers, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis.Throughout the book, Hubbell provides a critical analysis of these spiritual movements and their claims, separating fact from fiction and examining the evidence for and against various paranormal phenomena. He also explores the social and cultural context in which these movements emerged, and the impact they have had on Western culture and spirituality.1901.
