| Summary | "Ghostly Phenomena" by Elliott O'Donnell is a collection of accounts exploring supernatural occurrences, likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative delves into various manifestations of ghosts and spirits, detailing the author's personal experiences and observations, which he categorizes into different types of "Elementals." His accounts serve not only to recount eerie encounters but also to theorize on the nature of these entities and their connections to human emotions and illnesses. The opening of the work presents the author's reflections on his earliest ghostly experiences, beginning with a vivid childhood encounter with a grotesque apparition that sparked his fascination with the supernatural. He describes a series of haunting sightings throughout his life, detailing encounters with phantoms that he believes represent certain diseases or carry specific warnings of impending doom. The author goes further to categorize these entities, exploring themes such as the appearances of spirits before death and differentiating elemental types, showcasing both his curiosity and belief in the unseen forces that, according to him, influence the human condition.
