NPR has a fascinating audio clip of Deborah Blum's book, Ghosthunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death. I am definitely looking forward to reading this book. I find the 19th century fascination with all matters psi to be be very interesting. Anyone read this or know of similar works?

Thanks for the link. I really enjoyed listening to the interview. It was fascinating, especially from the historical perspective. After you read the book, let me know what you think.
