Sight Unseen

In a modest neighborhood, a handful of friends gather each week for lively dinner discussions. Among them are a sharp‑witted literary editor, a compassionate heart specialist, a kindly elderly neighbor, the narrator’s own wife, and the narrator himself, a lawyer with a taste for civic affairs. When the sudden, puzzling death of a local man named Arthur Wells shakes the community, the informal club decides to turn its curiosity into a proper investigation, blending their varied expertise with the growing intrigue of unexplained phenomena.

Their inquiry leads them to a charismatic medium whose séances produce physical effects that defy ordinary explanation. As the group balances scientific skepticism with the haunting allure of the “objective mind,” they must sift through personal biases, hidden motives, and eerie occurrences. The story unfolds as a thoughtful blend of mystery and early 20th‑century psychical research, inviting listeners to join a cerebral puzzle where every observation could tip the scales toward truth or illusion.
