Skeptics of the supernatural will enjoy this humourous jaunt through the long history of scientific enquiry into paranormal and psychic phenomena. Telepathy, life after death, spirit communication, the astral plane, reincarnation, spoon bending: on the relatively rare occasions when scientists have tried to apply their methods to the paranormal, they've often ended up embarrassed - fooled by obvious Charlatans, deluded into making irrational and unsubstantiated claims, or frustrated in their attempt to find something that just isn't there. John Grant investigates the pseudoscience of spooky stuff to fascinating and often hilarious effect.
