This book works on
many levels, an excellent introduction to the concepts current in the
field of parapsychology... at best you may learn something new, and at worst
you'll have read a witty and well-written paranormal detective story

The story is captivating and the quality of 70-some pages of endnotes and over
12 pages of references to studies are an invaluable resource to anyone who takes these subjects seriously... [the
author shows]
the
required critical thinking of both sides of the parapsychological
debate.

Dr. Lumsden may well have created a new art
form... a story placed in an educational context that informs as well as
entertains. We might dub it
www.fiction.edu and hope that there will be
others of its genre.

[Latest Review] Here’s a novel novel. J. J. Lumsden has written a
story about a parapsychologist investigating an apparent poltergeist, using
the plotline as a vehicle to provide serious information, in the form of
endnotes, on psi research. The result is entertaining and instructive in
equal measure, and will appeal to SPR members as well as the general reader
who would like to know more about parapsychology.

pol-ter-geist
(noun): ‘Noisy spirit’;
paranormal source of physical disturbances.
In a retirement
community in the desert of southern Arizona, Jack and Chloe Monroe have an
unwanted guest. What once appeared merely strange has now taken on sinister
overtones. What once seemed a curiosity now seems terrifying.
Paranormal researcher Dr
Luke Jackson reluctantly takes up the investigation and finds himself drawn
into the series of unexplained events at the Monroe house. Time is against
Luke. He has just one week to unravel the mystery before he must return
home.
The Hidden
Whisper offers a rare opportunity to enter the intriguing world of the
paranormal through the eyes of Luke Jackson. It is supported by a set of
endnotes compiled by the author, parapsychologist JJ Lumsden, which offer
additional explanations into many of the topic areas raised throughout the
story.

Ask the Author

To ask a question, please email:
THW @BennionKearny.com (subject
line: Question)
Why did you write the book?
When people find out what you do, a good few questions normally follow.
Some people think the paranormal is nonsense, others less so. It just seemed
clear to me that folk might like an easy-to-read and accessible book that
illuminates parapsychology and the paranormal.
Why did
you choose this 'novel / popular science' format?
Just so the book isn't too full-on. People can dip in and out of the
endnotes when they want to learn more about particular topic areas, whilst
(hopefully) enjoying the main part of the book as a stand-alone story.
How do you
become a parapsychologist?
Parapsychologists hail from a number of disciplines including physics,
philosophy and psychiatry (lots of 'P's it seems), but most have
psychology backgrounds (mainly experimental, but also clinical). There are a
couple of universities in the UK that teach parapsychology, both as courses
at the undergraduate level, and as postgraduate qualifications.
I did my doctorate at Edinburgh University's 'Koestler Parapsychology
Unit', which is part of the psychology department. Since it was founded in
1985, the KPU has turned out over two dozen PhD graduates, and been home to
scores of laboratory experiments.
Any lecture tours planned? What about in the USA?
I think we'll have to see how well the book does first.
I really loved The Hidden Whisper. Fantastic! The book
would make a great movie - any chance we'll see Luke Jackson starring on the
Big Screen?
Thank you for your kind words. The Big Screen? Maybe one
day...
In the book, you discuss Zener Cards.
Do you have any pictures of what they actually look like?
I've placed some sample Zener Cards on my blog
here.
A pack of Zener cards would contain five of each card type; twenty-five in
total.
