Death of Richard Whittington-Egan

The death of SPR member Richard Whittington-Egan has been announced.

He was best known as a true crime author, but also wrote on ghosts, and his biography The Master Ghost Hunter: A Life of Elliott O'Donnell was published earlier this year.

An obituary in the Daily Telegraph, 20 September 2016, mentions the SPR: 'As a member of the Society for Psychical Research, he terrified himself in the course of many investigations of hauntings by ghosts and poltergeists.'
