The Bulletins and Proceedings of the National Laboratory of Psychical Research (London, 1926–c.1938) are the organ of Harry Price's fraud-critical investigation of physical mediumship — most famously the instrumented Rudi Schneider telekinesis sittings, reported here as raw séance protocol of controls, red lights and timed phenomena. Woven through the experimental record are facsimiles from Price's renowned library of early witchcraft, demonology and conjuring, which he used to place modern claims in a long history of trickery and belief. The overwhelming medium-and-séance vocabulary is on-subject but investigative in valence: Price was a professional conjuror who exposed fraudulent phenomena as readily as he certified puzzling ones. It belongs squarely to experimental psychical research, the interwar British counterpart to the SPR's programme, not to devotional spiritualism or occultism.
