E-text prepared by Delphine Lettau, Cindy Beyer, and the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team (http://www.pgdpcanada.net) "The Night-Side of Nature; Or, Ghosts and Ghost-Seers" by Catherine Crowe is a philosophical exploration written in the mid-19th century. This work investigates supernatural phenomena, particularly ghosts and their significance, alongside dreams, presentiments, and the nature of the human soul. Crowe's approach reflects a blend of inquiry and skepticism, aiming to illuminate what remains hidden about the spiritual and psychical aspects of existence. At the start of the book, the author introduces her intentions by discussing the lack of attention given to spiritual topics by the scientific community. She draws parallels between the obscurity of the "night-side" of nature, as understood by German astronomers, and humanity's ignorance of spiritual truths. The opening emphasizes the importance of observing and reflecting on the common occurrences of dreams and apparitions throughout history. Crowe outlines her goal of prompting inquiry rather than dictating beliefs, hoping that by doing so, readers might reconsider their views on the paranormal and their implications for understanding the existence of the soul and life after death.
