Publisher's summary 
Edit
It's Reading Week at the University of East Wessex, but not everything comes to a stop.
The wood is still haunted. Experiments in telepathy, remote viewing, precognition and other paranormal phenomena continue in the Parapsychology Department. The department heads still think the Kellerfield Research Fellow is out for publicity rather than psychic results. A grisly murder remains unsolved by local police. The students are still holding seances in the graveyard.
When the TARDIS arrives in Norswood, the Doctor and Leela are caught up in events that are spiralling out of control. Leela is chased by a phantom, and the Doctor takes the waters. But soon it isn't just the Parapsychology Department's funding that's in question -- it's the whole of existence.

Timeline Edit
- The events of the story are undone by the creation of a new timeline. The Doctor and Leela will forget what happened the next time they leave the TARDIS.
Notes Edit
- Pop-culture references place these events no earlier than 1999 and indicate the story is most likely contemporaneous with its publication date.
- Despite the publisher's summary, the fictional University of East Wessex doesn't give Hitchins his own Department, much less full professorship. It is his Fellowship that supports him.
