Abstract

This paper examines 1) how contemporary spiritualist mediums believe they perceive the spirits of the dead; 2) why they accept themselves as perceivers of the spirits, despite the scientific implausibility; and 3) how these mediums can be understood within empirical studies on interactions with and perceptions of supernatural beings.Based on my fieldwork in the United Kingdom conducted from 2022 to 2024, I found that: 1) mediums perceive spirits through ordinary senses, such as sight and hearing, but often describe these perceptions as occurring in the mind rather than through direct sensory 国立民族学博物館研究報告 49 巻 2
