"Seen and Unseen" by E. Katherine Bates is a memoir exploring psychic experiences, written in the early 20th century.

Bates shares vivid narrative insights into her encounters with spirit communication, table-turning, and clairvoyance, presenting her reflections on the intricate relationships between life, death, and the unseen world. The opening
of the memoir sets the stage by introducing Bates’ early recollections tied to her father's death, showcasing her first encounters with the supernatural through dreams. It highlights her childhood innocence and the emotional turmoil surrounding loss, which seemingly awakened her psychic faculties. As she transitions into her teenage years, she engages in ghostly table-turning sessions with friends, leading to further exploration of her psychic abilities as an adult while visiting various places and participating in séances. The narrative intertwines personal reflections with rich descriptions of her experiences, hinting at a deeper understanding of the mystical and enigmatic dimensions of life that she grapples with throughout her journeys.
