Note 135 — Chapter VII · PHANTASMS OF THE DEAD

I mean by "ordinary" the classes which are recognised and treated of in Phantasms of the Living. But if the departed survive, the possibility of thought-transference between them and those who remain is of course a perfectly tenable hypothesis. "As our telepathic theory is a psychical one, and makes no physical assumptions, it would be perfectly applicable (though the name perhaps would be inappropriate) to the conditions of disembodied existence."—Phantasms, vol. i. p. 512.
