Hints and Observations for Those Investigating the Phenomena of Spiritualism Experiments in Psychical Science: Levitation, Contact, and the Direct Voice The Psychic Structures at the Goligher Circle In 1914, Dr. William J. Crawford, a lecturer in mechanical engineering at Queen's University of Belfast, Ireland, began investigating the mediumship of 16-year-old Kathleen Goligher. The phenomena surrounding the young girl included communicating raps, automatic writing, trance voice, floating objects, and (...) table levitations. In all, Crawford had 87 sittings over some two-and-a-half years with the Goligher Circle. His first, third, and fourth books, as listed above, deal solely with the Goligher phenomena, while the second-listed book is very general and includes observations with other mediums. Born in New Zealand, Crawford (1881-1920) received his D.Sc. from the University of Glasgow and authored several books in his primary field, including Elementary Graphic Statics and Calculations on the Entropy-Temperature Chart, before undertaking his research of psychic phenomena.
