Charles Carleton Massey (1838–1905), most well known as C. C. Massey, was a British barrister, Christian mystic and psychical researcher.[1]
Massey was born at Hackwood Park, Basingstoke. He was the first president of the British Theosophical Society and a founding member of the Society for Psychical Research in 1882.[2][3] His father was William Nathaniel Massey. His main interest was Christian Theosophy; he was influenced by the writings of Jakob Böhme.[4]
Massey, a convinced spiritualist, was associated with the medium Stainton Moses. He was also a member of the British National Association of Spiritualists and The Ghost Club.[5][6]
Massey had defended the medium Henry Slade against the accusations of fraud from Ray Lankester.[7] In 1880 he translated Johann Karl Friedrich Zöllner's Transcendental Physics into English.[8]
