Douglas Blackburn

Douglas Blackburn was born in England on 6 August 1857. As a young journalist, he took part in 1882 and 1883 in telepathy experiments that the Society for Psychical Research held to be convincing, before admitting in 1911 that he had rigged them. Settled in the Transvaal in 1892, he ran from 1896 a Krugersdorp newspaper, the Sentinel, and worked until 1908 in the Transvaal and Natal, which earned him the name of the great chronicler of the last days of the Boer republic. Back in England, he went on writing and died on 28 March 1929.
