32 Churchill's Secret War (cover story)
Millions of words have been written about British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. David Clarke examines the great statesman's curiosity about unexplained phenomena, a subject that recurred throughout his long career.
40 Spellbound: Magic, Ritual & Witchcraft
Malcolm Gaskill, one of the curators of a new exhibition at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum, reflects on how the artefacts and images on display link the inner lives of human beings to a magical Universe animated by our hopes and fears.
46 The Perils of Polyglot EVP Research
According to the proponents of electronic voice phenomena, the dead want to communicate with us: so much so that they speak in languages we are familiar with. Benjamin Radford finds only circular logic and faulty methodology at work.
