Book cover of That Must Have Been ESP!: Examination of Psychic Experiences

Daniel Bourke Author Of Apparitions at the Moment of Death: The Living Ghost in Legend, Lyric, and Lore

From my list on supernatural and psychic experiences worldwide.

Why am I passionate about this?

I've always been fascinated by experiences that exist on the border of the ordinary. Growing up, my grandmother would tell us, in serious tones, of the fairies and ghosts she had encounteredā€”how closely the natural and the ā€œsupernaturalā€ are linked. In my twenties, I would read a lot about shamanism and the kinds of extraordinary experiences they would actively seek. Later, noticing similarities between those experiences and the spontaneous experiences of ordinary people, my interest continued to grow. Near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, but especially crisis apparitionsā€”these experiences spoke strongly to me about how little we still know of the nature of the mind and how much there is yet to discover!

Daniel's book list on supernatural and psychic experiences worldwide

Daniel Bourke Why did Daniel love this book?

For me personally, this is one of the best works on spontaneous psychical and extrasensory experiences. The accounts are drawn from rural Finland, and the expertise of the late Professor Emerita Leea Virtanen is brought to bear upon the narratives. I love how Virtanen connects the modern accounts to the old beliefs and traditions in her country and makes comparisons between her sample and others much further afield.

This work is a much-needed bridge between psychical research and folklore. It is full of apparitions, visions, dreams, and other supernatural occurrences that happen simultaneously with a distant eventā€”what Virtanen calls ā€œsimultaneous informatory experiences.ā€ I absolutely recommend this for any student of psychical research, folklore, or ordinary human experiences in general.
