Deborah Blum is a journalist and the author of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York. She worked as a newspaper science writer for twenty years, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for her writing about primate research, which she turned into the book The Monkey Wars.
In a scientific examination of unscientific events, the author documents the search for explanations to mysteries such as moving tables, Ouija boards, slate writing, and haunted houses. Blum exposes some of the trickery and leaves other phenomena unexplained. As far as valuable science, listeners will learn that ether is "a cosmic cream that oozes through space." Narrator George Wilson's deep voice speaks without haste, and he finds no difficult or foreign vocabulary to deal with. He takes the spiritual sessions seriously but creates some fun by using his large repertoire of voices for quotes from the famous and infamous characters who have opinions on this subject.
