Harry Price (1881-1948) was psychic researched who gained public notoriety for his exposure of fraudulent spiritualist mediums and his ghost hunting activities. This scarce book contains his brutal exposure of  the tragic medium Helen Duncan which ends with the notorious words; "Could anything be more infantile than a group of grown up men wasting time, money, and energy on the antics of a fat female crook".
