Customer Reviews

Fascinating resource
This book is packed with the history, folklore and scientific evidence surrounding psychic phenomena. I like the fact that it doesn't rely on eyewitness reports and looked at the psychic world from the point of view of sceptic and believer alike. The author isn't trying to make a case but simply provides the facts so that the reader can make their own mind up about the mysterious world we live in. It's a fascinating resource and a comprehensive guide to the psychic world for both beginner and expert. I highly recommened it.

Fascinating book
This is a wonderful book for the general reader and the serious student alike. It's rich in fascinating research, unusual facts and even has helpful hints if you are interested in developing your own psychic powers. What also makes this book stand out is that the author presents both sides of the argument both skeptic and believer leaving you the reader to make your own mind up.

Really loved this book!
I got my copy yesterday and have really enjoyed dipping in and out of it since. It is very well researched and provides a really balanced view. The A-Z format is great as it means that the book can be started at any point. The more I have read the more I wanted to know and search further through the book. From Oujia boards to key famous people dead and alive (and still floating in some cases) magic and mystery its all there! The style is so easy to read. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
