Amos Norton Craft (1844-1912) was an American Methodist and early skeptic writer.[1]

Craft was born in Mecca, Ohio.[1] He is most well known for his Epidemic Delusions (1881). According to skeptic Daniel Loxton the book is a "critical gaze over spirit mediums, end of the world panics, bogus religious relics, witch-hunting manias, haunted houses, clairvoyance, and mesmerism. Again and again he hammered home the point that paranormal claims rest upon arguments from ignorance."[2]
