The Parasite

The Parasite
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)

Being a physiologist, Austin Gilroy is unconvinced
that the occult is real. His friend Professor Wilson,
however, is not only convinced that psychical
powers are real, but eagerly desires that Gilroy
should be persuaded. To this end, Wilson invites
Austin to his house for a demonstration. The effect
is that Austin, although still skeptical, now
concedes that there is more in the matter than he at first believed. But
when the psychic, Miss Penclosa, controls his actions to the point where he
nearly murders his fiancee, Austin Gilroy doubts no longer. (Summary by
Carl V.)
