Publishers' black cloth with gilt titles to spine and double border in blind to upper board.

Edward Thomas Woodhall (1886-1941) of the London Metropolitan Police Force & New Scotland Yard was the author of several works on criminology. This volume examines cases of psychic events and those "not of this World", including the assassination of Sir Curzon Whylie, the murder of Freda Lesser and Detroit's Dark Age Killer, as well as the Jack the Ripper case, to which Woodhall later devoted an entire volume entitled "Jack the Ripper or When London Walked in Terror". Scarce.
