Poisonous Magnetism: The Paranormal Experiences of John Brown

This fascinating work tells the story of a 19th Century Spiritualist's lifelong relationship with disembodied entities both patronizing and wrathful. The paranormal experiences of mountain trapper and trail guide John Brown rival those of modern era UFO contactees and remote viewers -- and not without a thread of potentially demonic influence. Brown journeyed to San Bernardino Valley in California with a Mormon expedition and there with other like-minded settlers founded the first Spiritualist temple in the state and perhaps the entire country. This 1897 edition presented in classic reprint includes Brown's childhood necromantic episodes, his psychic journeys to other worlds, time travel to Earth's mysterious past, and is perhaps a cautionary tale hinting at the manipulative and dark nature of beings not of this realm.
