Charles McCreery’s studies of anomalous experience and sleep

Record summary

Charles McCreery’s Oxford-based writings examined hallucinations, apparitions, dreams, and unusual perceptual experiences, often emphasizing the relationship between anomalous experience and altered states of consciousness. This literature can help compare sensed presences, hypnagogic imagery, sleep paralysis, grief apparitions, and psychical interpretations without assuming a paranormal cause. The relevant work is distributed across books and articles rather than one definitive experiment. Researchers should verify bibliographic details and distinguish McCreery’s conceptual arguments from data collected by other authors.
