An interesting collection of vignettes from Black Americans who identify as mediums, seers, healers and having other such psychic abilities. I read this as research for my NaNoWriMo project and found it incredibly useful in understanding how folks claim psychic abilities manifest. Good material for anyone who is writing about the supernatural.
