In his intro to this fascinating mediumship study, John C. Wilson writes, 'Confronted by a semi-literate housewife spouting forth a series of astonishing works of literature dictated to her by a seventeenth-century spirit, the American public first gapes and gawks and then wipes the whole thing out of its mind.'
