"At the close of the nineteenth century, a handful of brilliant thinkers created a society dedicated to finding scientific proof of the existence of the supernatural world, and in the process launched the greatest ghost hunt ever undertaken. [] What if a world-renowned professor of psychology at Harvard University, a doctor and scientist acclaimed as one of the leading intellects of the time, suddenly announced that he believed in ghosts? To great public and professional astonishment, William James--the great philosopher, a founder of the American Psychological Association, and brother of Henry James--did just that and embarked on a determined, lifelong pursuit of scientific evidence to prove it. James came together with two other brilliant and charismatic thinkers of the day--Richard Hodgson, a converted skeptic, and James Hyslop, a natural grandstander who would often visit mediums unannounced, a hooded mask covering his face, to form the core of the American Society for Psychical Research." [publisher copy] "In a compelling tale with resonance for today, Blum evokes a surprising sympathy for her band of tough-minded intellectuals--among them philosophers, psychologists, even two future Nobelists--who, around the turn of the 20th century, pursued the paranormal in an attempt to bridge the gap between faith and science at a time when religion was besieged by the theory of evolution and a new scientific outlook. Foremost in the Society for Psychical Research in America was the brilliant philosopher and psychologist William James, who like the others, risked his reputation in this unorthodox pursuit. Blum unearths the history of their research, their passionate friendships and debates, as well as their private doubts about the meaning of their work. Much of the society's efforts were devoted to exposing charlatans, but even the most dogged of the members, Richard Hodgson, was baffled by Boston's Leonora Piper, a reluctant medium of rare gifts. As Hodgson obsessively studies this medium, the story grows weirder and weirder, but Blum tells it straight, never overdramatizing the strange events. She achieves deep poignancy at moments that in less gifted hands could have seemed most laughable. The result is a moving portrait of a fascinating group of people and a first-rate slice of cultural history."--Publishers Weekly.
