Sobre IBD

Cock Lane and Common-Sense by Andrew Lang investigates the famous eighteenth-century Cock Lane ghost controversy and places it within the broader history of supernatural belief and alleged paranormal phenomena. Lang examines contemporary accounts, testimony, and explanations surrounding the mysterious events associated with Cock Lane in London.Combining historical investigation with a skeptical and inquisitive approach, Lang considers how reports of ghosts, hauntings, and unexplained occurrences have been interpreted by different generations. The book provides an engaging study of folklore, popular belief, psychical phenomena, and the tension between supernatural explanations and common-sense reasoning.
