In Search of the Light by Susan J Blackmore

In Search of the Light by Susan J Blackmore

As a starry-eyed student, the author was convinced of the reality of astral planes, telepathy, and life after death. She was determined to devote her life to parapsychology, but what she found wasn't what she had bargained for. This book offers a personal account of one scientist's never-ending search for the paranormal.

".. Blackmore's devastatingly honest account of her struggle to make sense of the paranormal is as gripping as ever." New Scientist "A revealing autobiographical story of the appeal of parapsychology." -- Skeptic
