About the author
Michael Tymn is a writer on psychical research and the historical case for survival after death, long associated with the Academy for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies and a regular contributor to publications in that field. His books, published by White Crow Books, focus on reexamining older, sometimes neglected research into mediumship and the afterlife rather than on contemporary cases: Resurrecting Leonora Piper: How Science Discovered the Afterlife (2013) revisits the investigation of the noted nineteenth-century medium, Dead Men Talking (2014) looks at reported afterlife communication connected to the First World War, The Afterlife Explorers traces the early pioneers of psychical research, and Transcending the Titanic examines premonitions and out-of-body accounts tied to the ship's sinking. His work is aimed at readers already interested in psychical research history rather than newcomers to the subject.
