Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World

""Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World"" is a book written by Robert Dale Owen, originally published in 1860. It is a collection of essays and personal accounts of supernatural experiences and paranormal phenomena, including ghostly apparitions, premonitions, and messages from the dead. The author, a prominent social reformer and spiritualist, uses these stories to argue for the existence of an afterlife and the possibility of communication with the deceased. The book also includes discussions of various spiritualist practices and beliefs, as well as critiques of skeptics and critics of the movement. Overall, ""Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of spiritualism and the Victorian era's fascination with the supernatural.1859. Contents Book I.
