The Great Paranormal Clash presents not only a series of essays by a practising medium and a parapsychologist but also dialogues between them.

Opinions between those convinced of a spirit world and those prepared to consider only a scientific model of the universe are not only polarised but often hostile. It is therefore refreshing to find two reasonable members of each community respecting each other’s point of view.

Roberts impresses with his openness to the idea his gift may be telepathic rather than mediumistic and with his concern that mediums may do as much harm as they do good. O’Keefe, on the other hand, fails to tackle Roberts’ insistence that some detailed communications can only be explained through contact with spirits.

But this is not O’Keefe’s fault – rather the lack of a structured approach to important questions and their given answers, which would have made Paranormal Clash more useful read.
