Spiritualism came up several times in McMullin's (Canadian cultural studies, Carleton U.) research on other topics, and like any reputable academic, he brushed it away for many years. But when he discovered the papers of the Church of Divine Revelation, he surrendered to the inevitable. Then a group of Kitchener residents provided him with over 100,000 feet of audiotape recording about five years of seances in the early 1960s. Distributed in the US by Cornell U. Press Service.
