Following his resignation from the museum, Lethbridge devoted himself to parapsychology, publishing numerous books for a popular audience where he advocated for dowsing using pendulums, championed the witch-cult hypothesis, and articulated the Stone Tape theory of ghost sightings.Uncommon title and highly sought after,8vo 142pp First UK Edition 1st Impression [1969].
