Nicolas Camille Flammarion (1842-1925) was a French astronomer and writer. This book was originally published in French as "Les maisons hantées", and he concludes that in some rare cases hauntings are caused by departed souls whilst others are caused by the "remote action of the psychic force of a living person".
