Plot

Do UFOs really exist? Or are they figments of the imagination? Did Nostradamus have the uncanny gift of foretelling the future? Or was he simply a charlatan? Many people associated with the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb were said to be cursed. True? Or a classic example of a paranormal myth? Do spiritualists and mediums really contact the departed? Or is it a clever confidence trick?Fortune telling, psychic detectives, astrology, ghosts, hypnosis, coincidence, dowsing, fire walking, the Loch Ness Monster are some of the intriguing subjects covered in a lively and stimulating text (including over 100 photographs, engravings, paintings and cartoons in color and black and white) which helps the reader to choose whether to believe--or not.
