Comments:
A man claims to have traveled by a kind of astral projection to various times and places throughout human history. But he can't (so he says) control where or when he visits, and he can't bring back any evidence of his travels. Is he a nut or what? And if he wanted to teach you how to do it, would you accept the offer?
