kevin_shepherd 's review for:
"If scientists were paid by results, the last parapsychologist would have long since died of hunger..." ~Alexander Baron
Astral Projection, Ectoplasm, ESP, EVP, Ghosts, Hauntings, Poltergeists, Heavenly Tourism, Hypnotic Regression, Levitation, Reincarnation, Spiritual Mediums, Near Death Experiences, Spirit Photography, Psychokinesis, Telekinesis... That's not a comprehensive list, but you get the picture. John Grant takes them all on with the heart of a scientist and the eye of a skeptic.
This is where psychic phenomena comes to die, or at least to be skewered with reason. Elements which are not exposed as outright fraud can be explained (with varying degrees of certainty) by physics, psycology and even neurology. And Grant accomplishes this with a sarcastic wit that sometimes (often) borders on snarky.
There are plenty of historical incidents and references. So many, in fact, that some may find it a little tedious. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed it.
