Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Poison Squad and The Poisoner's Handbook, Deborah Blum, has penned an extraordinary tale of William James's quest for empirical evidence of the spirit world in her latest book.

In "Ghost Hunters," Blum recounts the remarkable story of how a renowned philosopher and professor of psychiatry at Harvard staked his reputation on investigating "unexplainable" incidences of clairvoyance and ghostly visitations.

With a small group of eminent scientists, James embarked on an extraordinary quest to empirically prove the existence of ghosts, spirits, and psychic phenomena.

The result is a fascinating reminder that reason and revelation are not opposites.

Blum's captivating narrative raises questions as relevant today as they were at the close of the nineteenth century.
