Features
30 Phone Calls From The Dead (cover story)
Parapsychologist D Scott Rogo examined 'phone calls from the dead' in his 1979 book of the same name, but Theo Paijmans discovers that calls from beyond the grace are as old as the technology itself - and continue in the age of the mobile phone.
36 Death: The Final Frontier
Dr Leo Ruickbie asks Robert Bigelow, aerospace billionaire and onetime owner of Skinwalker Ranch, why he's offering $1.5 million in prize money for proof of the afterlife.
40 Voices From The Pageant
Eric Hoffman tackles James Merrill's The Changing Light at Sandover, a vast postmodernist poem derived from sessions with a Ouija board, and asks whether this occult epic was the product of communication with the denizens of the 'Other world'.
