I agree. It seems quite implausible that the guy remembered enough of the
book after looking at it for 3 days as he gets sick reading it. But still
cant remember essentials like the authors name and date of publication or by
whom.

Secondly the photocopies are too good. Normally photocopies are creased and
have a less than perfect image. But look at the detail available on one of
the photos that has the zoom-up in the circle. That detail just isnt there
on a photocopy. Furthermore the color in the photos is just not a normal
photocopy.

Thirdly, while I dont dispute the presence of ectoplasm, I dont think that
becoming too deeply involved with this sort activity without knowing exactly
how far you're going is such a good idea. It emerges from an unsavoury area.
