Book Description

1573921564 978-1573921565 August 1997
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Look at the New Age, October 14, 1997
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bizarre Beliefs (Paperback)
Hundreds of books tout psychic phenomena and UFOs, but only a handful try to explain why the New Age seems a bit silly. Most of those are painfully dull. But Bizarre Beliefs breaks from the pack, looking at everything from alien abductions to spiritualism with good humor and British charm. Although the authors are skeptics, they are always sensitive to the views of others. For those who wonder whether there is really anything to astrology, or fire walking, or the curse of Tutankhamun, this book will make you think while it makes you chuckle.
