Life After Death | Futility Closet

July 3, 2012

Late in life Arthur Conan Doyle pursued an interest in the possibility of spiritualism and existence beyond the grave. He was widely criticized for this, but a writer to the Graphic raised a redeeming point: Although we may misbelieve mediums and With doubt and suspicion our minds may be filled, Sherlock Holmes, we must grant,…
