...copy for a monthly blend of history and news. But not enough of the initial subscribers stayed around. Campbell's $1,000,000 ran out quickly, and the 125,000 charter subscribers dwindled to 7,000. Last week, after just four issues, USA*1 gave up the ghost. It merged with another publishing experiment: A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford's Show Magazine...

Researcher Eric Dingwall analyzes some classic ghosts and ghost see-ers with the latest tools of his trade, including psychiatry and statistical research. Most famous is the 19th century Scotsman Daniel Dunglas Home, who set up a salon in Paris where he produced table rappings, voices, visions, and even...
