Sinopsis

We are all familiar with the fact that man in former days 
readily believed in the existence of an unseen world, a world 
of ghosts, demons, nature-spirits which were worshipped as gods, 
and a host of other supernatural beings. This world lay all about him 
and in some respects was more real to him than the physical world. 
It was his belief in it, and in the power of the forces it contained, that 
gave birth first to primitive magic and later to religion. 
 
Even today, vast numbers of people all over the world, and not 
merely among savage tribes or backward peasantry, but in 
advanced and educated communities, particularly in Asia, still 
believe in this mysterious realm and in various classes of beings 
that inhabit it, to an extent that would surprise most Westerners 
apart from those who have made a study of the subject. To the 
Asian mind it is equally surprising that Westerners, with the 
exception of spiritualists, are sceptical regarding it.
