Beschreibung

In Stranger Than Fiction, Arthur Conan Doyle presents a collection of remarkable, real-life accounts that defy logic and traditional explanations. Through these articles and essays, he shares anecdotes involving spiritualism, paranormal encounters, and psychic phenomena—stories that, while true in his belief, often rival the most imaginative tales. It's an intriguing blend of reportage and belief that reflects Doyle's unwavering dedication to the unseen.

STRANGER THAN FICTION

Published in The Strand Magazine, December 1915 This e-book edition: Roy Glashan’s Library, 2014 Produced by Roy Glashan

WHEN one casts one’s thoughts back upon one’s own life in search of things which seem particularly strange, it is not in the material events that one most clearly perceives them. I have had the good fortune to have had a fairly adventurous life and to have visited strange parts of the world under interesting conditions. I have seen something of two wars. I have practised the most dramatic profession in the world. I , have travelled from North Greenland and Spitzbergen to West Africa, and my thoughts can conjure up many a recollection of storm and danger, of whales and bears and sharks and snakes, and all that used to interest me as a schoolboy. And yet whatever I could say upon such subjects someone else has said already with more authority and experience. It is rather when you look closely into the intimate workings of your own mind and spirit, the queer intuitions, the strange happenings, the inexplicable things which come suddenly to the surface and are glimpsed rather than seen, the incredible coincidences, the stories which should end one way but either end the other or else have no definite finish at all, tailing off into oblivion with ragged fringes of mystery behind them instead of the neat little knot of the tidy-minded romancer—it is these, I say, which seem to be really stranger than any fiction.
