First Edition. "The first book to be written on the relationship of crime to the supernatural". The author has made a special study of crimes that had been characterised by "things not of this world." Edwin T. Woodhall worked in Scotland Yard and before that worked in Counter-Espionage Intelligence for H.M. Forces.
Many cases are surrounded by inexplicable circumstances, and he reveals what could be interpreted as psychic and occult influences. Includes a chapter on Robert James Lees and "Jack the Ripper", as well as the first Scotland Yard instance of the aid of clairvoyance to detect a series of awful crimes. Includes photographs of crime scenes and other related scenes.
