A novella about an editor of a skeptical magazine who tries to catch a scammer called Ariaura, who pretends to “channel” channels the spirit called “Isus”. During the séance Ariara starts to speak with a different voice and appears to channel a known skeptic, H.L. Mencken. Ariana herself appears confused and surprised by the “intruder”. Could this be a real thing - could channeling spirits really work? That's something the editor and his extremely beautiful, clearly out of his league, assistant must find out. It's a humorous and light tale. Perhaps it's not worthy of the Hugo award it received, but is a good story nevertheless.
