Reviews:“Examines forty-seven paranormal cases, ranging from a supposedly petrified girl buried in eastern Kentucky, to spontaneous human combustion, to UFO visitations, to auras, to stigmata, to haunted houses, to ghostly photos, to police psychics, to communicating with the dead.”—Ozarks Mountaineer
“Nickell does
excellent background research, which he follows up in many cases with on-site
investigations of mysteries ranging from crop circles and lake monsters to
spiritualist mediums and stigmata.”—Booklist
“Whoever
said that the truth is both stranger and more entertaining than fiction
describes this book exactly.”—Skeptical Inquirer
“It may not be as fun as
being fooled, but it’s refreshing to see an experienced professional who has
investigated hundreds of alleged paranormal occurrences. . . . A fascinating
book.”—WTBF
