What reading level is Phantasms of the Living book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 [Two further examples are here omitted. ED. ] In another case, two gentlemen crossed Piccadilly under the impression that they saw a friend, who, as it turned out, died in India on that day. But it is needless to multiply instances ; in all of them the figure seen has been out of doors, and at some yards' distance ; and these being the very circumstances in which we know that spurious recognitions often take place, there is nothing surprising in an occasional coincidence of the sort described.... Similarly, a person may hear a call, perhaps of his own Christian name, outside his house, and may mistake the voice for that of a friend ; and, " in due course, " as our informants sometimes say, the news of that friend's death may arrive. But it is only to an inconsiderable fraction of the evidence here presented that such explanations could by any possibility be applied. The large majority of the alleged experiences are, on the face of them, subjective phenomena, in the sense that they are indepen- dent of any real objects in the environment, and of any mistakes possible in connection with such objects, and are due to a peculiar affection of the percipient's own mind.
