William Denton (8 January 1823 - 26 August 1883) was a self-taught geologist, author, preacher, and promoter of the occult practice of psychometry. He claimed that inanimate objects had souls or memories that he and other sensitive people could "read". He gave lectures on a wide range of topics. While returning from a speaking tour of Australia, he died of fever in Papua New Guinea. (From Wikipedia) More about William Denton:
