Ultra, Laura Shellabarger Hunt's remarkable only published work, is intended to convey a message. As she tells us in a preferatory address:
There are many “truths” dropped herein between these covers that you will not find while absorbing the story. Go back and pick them up, “for there shall be nothing hidden that shall not be uncovered.”

Edition / Year:
1951 When I was young there was a comic strip called 'The Numskulls', about some little men who lived inside a man's head and worked his body for him. The Numskulls were a tongue-in-cheek portrayal of one of the most naive theories of the mind, the 'Homunculus theory', which collapses under a cursory scrutiny. The author of this volume, Captain M. M. Moncrieff, has contrived an equally silly theory for one aspect of the mind's operation, that of visual perception, which he contends is not achieved through the agency of the eyes, but instead - as its title suggests - by clairvoyancy.

1st. 1922 The Source of Spiritistic Manifestations
John J Donnelly, International Press, 1922
In this crazy book written, as we'll see, to prove that its author was not crazy, Donnelly proposes an explanation of spiritualist and allied phenomena that is - as far as I know - wholly unique and original. His unprecedented idea is that every time we meet someone, we create a kind of phantom clone of them:

Third Edition. 1911 I obtained this book from my correspondent Michael Osler in exchange for my copy of Peter Blobbs. It was published anonymously in 1911; as yet I have been unable to determine its true author. I have seen it attributed to Nell St. John Montague, but I believe this is probably an error of confusion: she did publish a book called Revelations of a Society Clairvoyante in 1926 but her title would imply a female protagonist, whereas the current work's narrator is a man, one 'Mr S.'.

“Gervée Baronte” is (ignoring the accent) an anagram of “be ever rot agen”: an observation as significant as anything in this book of hers, which purports to describe the previous lives of a number of famous people, and a few utterly obscure ones.
