    About this ebook

    "The Malignant Entity" first featured in the magazine 'Weird Tales', written by Chicago born Otis Adelbert Kline. When police chief McGraw of the detective bureau arrives at Dr. Dorp's lab, he finds the scientist with his friend Evans. The detective asks the two men to help him examine the death scene of the eminent chemist and inventor, Albert Townsend. And when they get there, the whitened skeleton of Professor Townsend, fully clothed in garments that hung like rags on a scarecrow, lay on the floor of the laboratory. Dr. Dorp and his team set about trying to discover the mystery of Townsend's death…

      "

      I TELL you, Evans, said Dr. Dorp, banging his fist on the arm of his chair for emphasis, the science of psychology is in much the same stage of development today as were the material sciences in the dark ages."

      But surely, I objected, the two centuries of investigation just past have yielded some fruit. It cannot be that the eminent men who have devoted the greater part of their lives' to this fascinating subject have labored in vain.

      The doctor stroked his iron-gray Van Dyke meditatively.

      With a few—a very few exceptions, I'm afraid they have, he replied, at least so far as their own deductions from observed phenomena are concerned.

      Take Sir Oliver Lodge, for example— I began. The conclusions of Sir Oliver will serve as an excellent example for my analogy, said the doctor. No doubt you are familiar with the results of his years of painstaking psychical research as expounded in his books.

      I believe he has become a convert to spiritism, I replied.

      With all due respect to Sir Oliver, said the doctor, I should say that he has rather singled out such facts as suited his purpose and assembled them as evidence to support the spiritistic theory. It may seem paradoxical to add that I believe he has always been thoroughly conscientious in his investigation and sincere in his deductions.

      I'm afraid I do not quite follow you.

      There are times in the life of every man, continued the doctor, "when emotion dethrones reason. At such crisis the most keen-witted of scientists may be blinded to truth by the overpowering influence of his own desires. Sir Oliver lost a beloved son. Only those who have suffered similar losses can appreciate the keen anguish that followed his bereavement, or sympathize with his intense longing , to communicate with Raymond. Most men are creatures of their desires.

      They believe what they want to believe. Under the circumstance it was not difficult for a clever psychic to read the mind of the scientist and tell him the things he wanted to hear."

      But what of the many investigators who have not been similarly influenced? I inquired. Surely they must have found some basis—

      I
