The Levitations of St Joseph of Copertino, Explained?
Abstract
Bob Rickard questions the claim by Joe Nickell, CSI’s Chief Investigator, to have explained the astonishing aerial flights attributed this 17th century Catholic saint. After introducing Joseph’s life and phenomena, and the quality of the eyewitness testimony, Nickell’s strategy and explanations are examined in greater detail.
