An audiobook by Hamlin Garland, read by LibriVox volunteers (12 h 51 min, English).

Dr. Morton Serviss is a promising young scientist who believes in the here and now. Viola Lambert is a beautiful young woman who is haunted, and sometimes possessed, by the spirits of those who have died.

Her mother and her pastor both encourage her in her abilities, and besides, she believes that the spirits themselves will never release her.
