On Subtle Bodies, Out-of-Body Experiences, and Apparitions of the Living: A Review of Ernesto Bozzano's Study of "Bilocation"
Journal of Scientific Exploration May 22, 2022 Carlos S. Alvarado, Massimo Biondi 1 citation
A historical review examines Ernesto Bozzano's 1934 book on the concept of a 'subtle body' separable from the physical body, which has been invoked to explain apparitions of the living, distance photography, near-death experiences, and out-of-body experiences (OBEs). The author traces this idea through Bozzano's analysis of pre-1930s OBE cases, noting that while the issues Bozzano discussed have limited contemporary value, they can stimulate further discussion. The approach is mainly historical, aiming to acquaint modern readers with Bozzano's work and highlight passages that deepen understanding of specific aspects of the topic.
Early Psychical Research Reference Works: Remarks on Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science
Journal of Scientific Exploration December 24, 2020 Carlos S. Alvarado
Nandor Fodor's Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (ca. 1933 or 1934) contains over 900 alphabetically arranged entries covering a wide range of psychic phenomena, including apparitions, auras, automatic writing, clairvoyance, hauntings, materialization, poltergeists, premonitions, psychometry, and telepathy, as well as mediums, psychics, researchers, writers, magazines, journals, organizations, and theoretical ideas. The article argues that despite some omissions and bibliographical problems, the encyclopedia serves as a useful reference work for studying developments in psychical research before its publication.
Interrelationships of Parapsychological Experiences, Dream Recall, and Lucid Dreams in a Survey with Predominantly Spanish Participants
Imagination, Cognition and Personality September 1, 2007 Carlos S. Alvarado, Nancy L. Zingrone
People who report parapsychological experiences also tend to recall their dreams more often and have more lucid dreams. A questionnaire published in a Spanish New Age magazine received 492 responses, mostly from Spanish participants. Most parapsychological experiences correlated positively with each other and with dream recall and lucid dream frequency. These results support the idea that a disposition such as boundary thinness, dissociation, or fantasy proneness may make some individuals more open to having or believing they have had seemingly parapsychological experiences.
