| Unbelievable Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena, from the Duke Parasychology Laboratory Stacy Horn ISBN 978-0-06-111690-2 This book promises on it's backcover to be an interesting and informative read. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's basically about the first Paranormal Laboratory created at Duke University by Dr. J.B. Rhine. From 1930 to 1980 they got no further than ESP, Extra Sensory Perception, tests using Zener cards. The few times that Poltergeists or Hauntings were investigated, they either cme too late or nothing happened to convince them of life after death. The only thing I got out of reading it was seeing how scientists argue among themselves and try to discredit each other in order to put themselves in a better light.... much like Ghost Hunters do today. I can't really recommend this book as being useful to us in the paranormal field. Hopefully my next book will be more interesting. Allen  | |
