Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World

By Robert Dale Owen

Book Overview

Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World is a book written by Robert Dale Owen, an American politician and social reformer, in 1860. The book is a collection of essays and personal accounts of supernatural experiences and paranormal phenomena. Owen, who was a spiritualist, believed that the dead could communicate with the living and that there was an afterlife. The book includes stories of ghosts, haunted houses, and psychic phenomena, as well as discussions of spiritualism and the nature of the soul. Owen also includes accounts of his own experiences with mediums and seances. The book was controversial at the time of its publication, as many people were skeptical of spiritualism and paranormal phenomena. However, it remains a fascinating historical document and a window into the beliefs and attitudes of the 19th century.1859. Contents Book I.
