Unseen World The Science Theories and Phenomena behind Events Paranormal
Author: Rupert Matthews, Richard Emerson, Jeremy Harwood, Esther Selsdon, Paul Devereux, Victoria McCulloch
Explore a riveting collection of scientific theories, first-hand experiences, and spine-chilling stories that beg the question: Is there a parallel world that we can’t see? — For centuries people have reported odd occurrences that defy explanation. And a fascination with the mystical still exists today. Movies such as Ghost and T...  more » and TV shows like The X-Files entertain our curiosity with the unexplained. The six expert authors of Unseen World will guide you through a wide spectrum of mysterious events. With the help of eyewitness accounts, more than 100 black-and-white photographs, and “Bare Bones” sidebars—which provide practical definitions of supernatural phenomenon—you will discover a range of claims and counterclaims by sleuths and university professors alike, who have explored the possibility of a nonphysical realm of living spirits. You’ll even discover some hoaxes and frauds along the way.

Five information-filled sections will reveal:

* The spiritual: Mediums, reincarnation, spirit guides, séances, trance speaking, clairvoyance, and psychic and absent healing

* The paranormal: Near-death experiences, hypnotic regression to past lives, prophecies and predictions, déjà vu, intuition and coincidences, and dream interpretation

* The scientific: discoveries and experiments for parapsychology, auras, electronic voice phenomena, thoughtography, and extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields

* The psychic: psychokinesis, telepathy, remote viewing, eyeless sight, dowsing, psychic surgery, spirit divination, fortune-telling, palmistry, tarot reading, and voodoo

* The haunted: apparitions, ghost hunters, famous sites—Amityville Horror, Gettysburg, Burlington in Ontario, Canada—poltergeists, possession, exorcism, and necromancy>BR>

Whether you’re simply curious or seeking answers, Unseen World will bring you closer to understanding our quest to solve the unknown.
