 Autobiography
"One of the temptations that a biographer must resist is the use of
hindsight to give a spurious continuity to the life in question and thereby
ignoring the part played by sheer chance. Parapsychology is such a deviant
pursuit in our society that it is nevertheless proper to inquire how someone
gets drawn into it. Perhaps the two most common explanations, in this
connection, are the following. The individual in question may at some stage
of his or her life have had intimations of the paranormal so impressive or
disturbing that thereafter the topic became a consuming passion.
Alternatively, and less dramatically, an interest in the paranormal may have
been so strongly embedded in that person's family background and traditions
that the seeds were sown from an early age..."
