During the early 1930s, Duke University went against the grain and opened a parapsychology lab. J.B. Rhine, who actually coined the term parapsychology, along with his colleagues sought to uncover the truth about various phenomena using scientific methods.

PopSci.com's Catherine Schwanke recently spoke with Horn by phone to discuss her new book, and the unbelievable.
