Who Killed Percy Boyd Staunton The supernatural has been a topic of discussion since before time. Sometimes it’s even referred to “powers beyond our control.” There have always been mysteries to the human mind that still have not yet been explained. Fifth business shares this theme of the supernatural several times within the novel itself. It shows itself to Dunny, Percy and Paul. Paul Dempster killed Percy Boyd Staunton.

This was the Pepper’s Ghost illusion. Paul had also performed several escaping tricks such as “…From ropes and straps bound on him by men from the audience who fancied themselves as artists in bondage.” (205).
