Hereward Carrington was a well-known American who was born in Britain on October 17, 1880. He died on December 26, 1958. Some of the most famous cases of what seemed to be psychic ability at the time were his subjects, and he wrote more than 100 books on paranormal and psychical research, conjuring and stage magic, and alternative medicine. Carrington promoted fruitarianism and had bogus ideas about how to lose weight. Carrington joined the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) in 1907. From that year until 1908, he worked as James Hyslop's assistant, which is when he became known as an ASPR investigator. Carrington wrote to famous people of the time, like Israel Regardie, Nandor Fodor, Aleister Crowley, and Sylvan Muldoon, who was one of the first people to study astral projection and with whom he wrote three books, including The Projection of the Astral Body (1929) and The Phenomena of Astral Projection (1951). ¿
