Talk:Henry C. McComas

Interesting note
In the foreword to his book Ghosts I Have Talked With (1937), McComas wrote that "No one who believes in spiritualism ever changes his opinion by reading arguments against it". Although true-believer syndrome was later advocated by M. Lamar Keene in his book The Psychic Mafia (1976), it is clear that McComas writing much before Keene had recognized it.

Family geneology
I managed to find a typescript family geneology written by McComas himself in 1950, which contains a rather complete bio for himself. It's available online at Hathitrust here. Lots of interesting details, including a reference to the fact that he spent 4 years as a Congregationalist minister in Michigan, before going back for his Ph.D. and devoting himself to science. --Krelnik (talk) 18:57, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
