Pickpick

Like sociology, folkloristics has a reputation for being dry and reductive, but Bennett‘s sympathetic, testimony-driven approach means that this study of the supernatural experiences of British women is anything but. Wide-ranging, it covers ghosts, poltergeists, ESP, dreams, premonitions and fortune telling. I suspect Bennett‘s conclusions - these experiences exist and are worthy of study - are replicated in other cultural contexts too. Superb.
