===Hoaxes=== Paranormal investigator [[Harry Price]] exposed the supposed automatic writing in the [[Borley Rectory]] as the wall-scrawling of a housewife attempting to hide an extramarital affair.<ref name="Karen"/> A prominent alleged example of automatic writing is the Brattleboro hoax. When [[Charles Dickens]] died in 1870, he left ''[[The Mystery of Edwin Drood]]'' unfinished. According to the itinerant printer [[T. P. James]], this angered Dickens' spirit so much that he channelled the rest of the novel through James's hand. This is supposed to have begun on Christmas Eve 1872 and continued in tri-weekly sessions until completion.<ref name="Heller"/>
