Alma Fielding found herself at the centre of those events, this transformed her life, but the cost was life changing. 

Nandor Fodor attempted to understand, going beyond the balance of genuine or fake. His approach was ahead of its time, and recognised that psychological dimensions deserved serious study, regardless of whether supernatural forces were actually involved.

Was Alma Fielding genuinely haunted by spirits, was her unconscious mind manifesting activity?

The attendant casually puts the note in her pocket without reading the content suspecting it to be the phone number of a businessman of whom she has drawn attention. 

Upon sighting she hasn’t read the note, Cooper politely states; “Miss. You’d better look at that note. I have a bomb” and opens his briefcase.
