Classes: Monkeys, snakes, and (flying) birds on cover
There's mention of a crystal ball being used, (the wife of Fawcett tries to find out what happened to him) but being non-fiction, it's not really "characters" who use it.
"Nina Fawcett sat on one side of a table; on the other was a woman peering into a crystal ball." p 210
"In the early 1940s, while attending a gathering in Seaford, England, at the house of the psychic Nell Montague, Paget placed a letter from Fawcett on the medium's crystal ball. Montague said that she saw three flickering white figures." p 211
