Jack Hunter and David Luke have published a great collection of essays in their new edited volume,
Talking with the Spirits: Ethnographies from Between the Worlds (Daily Grail Publishing, 2014). My own contribution is entitled: 'Believing impossible things: Scepticism and ethnographic enquiry'. It aims to look at some of the barriers to accepting the data for the survival of consciousness, the place of scepticism and the role of cognitive dissonance. I use physical mediumship as a case study to test the grounds for belief and disbelief.
The other distinguished contributors to the collection, in addition to Jack Hunter, David Luke and Fiona Bowie are: Hannah Gilbert, Deirdre Mental, Tamlyn Ryan, Barbara Stoeckigt, Diana Espirito Santo, Bettina Schmidt, Everton de Oliveira Maraldi, Wellington Zangari, Fatima Regina Machado, Stanley Krippner, Charles Emmons and Fabian Graham.
