For the U.S. gang, I watched the A&E cable network's "Biography" show on
Houdini this past week, and now I'm troubled ...

About ten years ago, I read a book called "The New Apocrypha" (spl?) about
debunking various psychic phenomeon and the one it couldn't disprove, but
tried to, was the "Rosabel Believe" thing. So I'd always assumed Kate was
right on the money  with her version of events in "Houdini."

The "Biography" program, however, said it never happened. It spoke about
the last seance and that a clap of thunder happened but no "Rosabel
Believe." So were Kate AND "The New Apocrypha" both wrong? 

Anyone know any more?

Thanks,
