The Study and Practice of Astral Projection
A diferencia de Monroe, Muldoon, Fox y Ophiel, Crookall no narra experiencias propias: reúne casos ajenos y los compara. Y su credencial es de otro campo — la obra lo acredita con papeles en el Geological Magazine, los Annals of Botany y las memorias del Servicio Geológico británico «Crookall — The Study and Practice of Astral Projection (1960) · p. 5». Es el aparato del grupo, no su testimonio.
