And these sort of baroque requirements don't make the whole thing seem implausible to you? Suddenly we not only have dead people's souls managing to remain coherent and float about invisibly, but now they know what's going on everywhere?

If we made the experiment double blind, so that the experimenter did not know who the sitter was either, could the spirits still tell?

I'll check out Hodgson.
