The story deals with Margery a spirit medium and Walter her brother (the Me in the story). Me was spirited, interested in pulling someone’s leg, especially the skeptic and very protective of his sister. Walter always had his sisters back, and hated it when Earl her first husband turned abusive, and when Roy Margery’s second husband tried to take advantage of her talents. From the spirit world there were limitations to what Walter could do, but he certainly tried.
Margery was famous in the 1900s and had the active support of many scientists who formed part of the American Psychics Association. She submitted to many, many tests put forward by them during seances
and passed them all. But she had a skeptic in Houdini, who denounced her openly, without any proof.
The book was informative and not a subject I am familiar with. In Sri Lanka we are exposed to spirit mediums and plenty of astrology everyday, even an official government channel, but I have very little personal knowledge to pass an opinion. This story was educative.
