Elizabethtown, PA and various locations: [No Publisher], 1980. A collection of 16 typed transcriptions and interviews presented to the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship Retreats in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The organization that sponsored these retreats, Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, was an interfaith research group on occult and paranormal phenomena established by psychic Arthur Ford in 1956.

Walter Houston Clark (1902-1994) was a professor of the psychology of religion at Andover Newton Theological School and an…
