I've read a lot of Houdini's writing on the topic. This eventually led to discovering works of fiction by authors who were also enraged by this immense con game perpetuated on distraught and grieving individuals. One of the best novels to expose the spirit racket is THE GHOST GIRL by Henry Kitchell Webster whose feelings about those fakes and frauds were as strong as Houdini's. Thanks for talking about this intriguing topic. I'll be looking for the books you discussed in this post. I am one of those people who is still open to the existence of paranormal phenomena related to death (especialy the death of loved ones) having had a few eerie experiences myself that still remain unexplained.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
