Ed.2d 325 / 7-20-1956 Contributor Bio:  Price, Harry Harry Price (17 January 1881 - 29 March 1948) was a British psychic researcher and author. In his autobiography, "Search for Truth", Price said the "Great Sequah" in Shrewsbury was "entirely responsible for shaping much of my life's work," and led to him acquiring the first volume of what would become the Harry Price Library, Price later became an expert amateur conjurer, joined the Magic Circle in 1922 and maintained a lifelong interest in stage magic and conjuring. His expertise in sleight-of-hand and magic tricks stood him in good stead for what would become his all consuming passion, the investigation of paranormal phenomena. In 1938 Price re-established the Ghost Club, with himself as chairman, modernising it and changing it from a spiritualist association to a group of more or less open-minded sceptics that gathered to discuss paranormal topics. During the 1940s, Price concentrated on writing and the works "The Most Haunted House in England, Poltergeist Over England", and "The End of Borley Rectory" were all published.
