J. D. Salinger

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

But Doyle was also a profoundly credulous supporter of "Spiritualists" (more of less the rip-off professional psychics of their day, who used slight-of-hand tricks to simulate the presence of ghosts).

None other than his friend Harry Houdini tried to dispel Spiritualism's hold on Doyle. Wiki reports:
. . . Conan Doyle became convinced that Houdini himself possessed supernatural powers—a view expressed in Conan Doyle's The Edge of the Unknown. Houdini was apparently unable to convince Conan Doyle that his feats were simply illusions, leading to a bitter public falling out between the two.
