Pike, an Episcopalian, was the fifth Bishop of California. When poltergeist activity following his son's death mounted up, he led a public (and for the church, embarrassing) pursuit of various spiritualist and clairvoyant methods of contacting his deceased son in order to reconcile. In September 1967, Pike participated in a televised séance with his dead son through the medium Arthur Ford, who served at the time as a Disciples of Christ minister. Pike described these experiences in detail in the book.
