The Search for Harry Price

The Search for Harry Price is a critical biography of the British psychical researcher and public ghost investigator Harry Price, who died in 1948. Trevor H. Hall examines Price’s background, career and published claims, questioning the reliability of parts of the story Price presented about himself and his investigations.

The book considers Price’s work in organised psychical research, including his laboratory and later involvement with the University of London Council for Psychical Investigation. It also addresses the celebrated Borley Rectory case, placing Price’s reports and methods under close scrutiny. Hall’s account is supported by bibliographical references and an index, making it a pointed contribution to the critical history of British psychical research.
