    A small, solid iron tank was filled with water. A man was placed inside, water completely covering him. Over this an iron lid with three hasps & staples was securely locked. The body was submerged & a clock began ticking off the seconds. In less than a minute & a half, the entombed man was standing calmly outside the tank, still dripping the locks had not been touched, the lid was still secure. Once again, the great Harry Houdini had confounded scientists & his audience by escaping sure death! How was it possible to survive this? His friend, Arthur Conan Doyle, thought the answer might lie in spiritualism. The Edge of the Unknown presents the evidence. Houdini's powers comprised only one area on which Doyle focused attention. Here he details all he uncovered in decades of psychic investigation. Because he was convinced for that psychic occurrences could be explained by natural laws, he began a skeptic. Readers will find, then, his testimony especially persuasive encompassing mediumistic ectoplasm; prophetic dreams; seances with ghosts of Lenin, Oscar Wilde, Dickens etc. But the most conclusive evidence is his personal experience with psychic phenomena he'd challenged. The fact he saw & heard ghostly manifestations is the best recommendation for all who've remaining doubts to read this book.
