"Mrs. Piper & the Society for Psychical Research" by Michael Sage is an early 20th-century exploration of a famous medium and the scientific community studying her. It focuses on Mrs. Piper's abilities to enter trance states and supposedly talk to the dead, which has been an area of interest for the Society for Psychical Research. Notable figures, including Dr. Richard Hodgson and Professor William James, have closely examined Mrs. Piper under strict conditions meant to rule out trickery. Her abilities sparked debates about whether her talents came from actual spirits or something rooted in the natural world, showcasing the clash between science and the paranormal, especially when trying to understand where the communications come from.
