| description | This unusual and absorbing book reads like a detective story, as it should, for that is what it is – the search for a plausible solution to one of the most controversial episodes in the history of psi research.
It began on 8 December 1937 with a telephone call to Harry Price (1881-1948), the highest profile psychical researcher of his generation, making him an offer he could not possibly refuse: to attend a meeting of a private home circle at which the materialized spirit of a six-year-old girl named Rosalie regularly appeared. No names were mentioned other than hers, and Price had to agree not to reveal the whereabouts of the private house somewhere in the London area where the sittings took place. |
