Editorial Reviews

Review

Mr. Eno dips into every and any branch of knowledge that might prove Unity (his constant theme) or break the bonds of mundane thinking. Welcome is his assertion, not only that the paranormal is entirely normal (and hence a misnomer), but also that without it, we cannot reach our destiny: the next step, the big picture. --Journal of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies, July 2008

More About the Author

PAUL F. ENO has been called "the most intelligent voice in paranormal research today" and "one of the most visionary philosophers of our time. Several radio and television producers have called him simply "incredible" and "inspiring."
Paul was one of the first paranormal investigators of the early 1970s, beginning while he was studying for the priesthood. His early mentors included parapsychology pioneer Dr. Louisa Rhine, Fr. John J. Nicola SJ (technical advisor for the film The Exorcist), and legendary, first-generation ghost hunters Ed & Lorraine Warren.
Today, Paul is an internationally known broadcaster, an award-winning New England journalist, a graduate of two seminaries, the author of seven books (two bestsellers), and holds a rare Ph.B in philosophy. He is considered one of the world's most distinguished experts in the paranormal and spiritual fields. He is also a prominent Rhode Island historian, and co-author, with Channel 12 newsman Glenn Laxton, of the book "Rhode Island: A Genial History," now used in several of the state's high schools. Along with actor David Hartman, Paul represented Rhode Island in the History Channel's "The States" series in 2007.
Much in demand as a talk-show guest around the nation, Paul has appeared multiple times on "Coast to Coast A.M." (30 million listeners) with Art Bell and George Noory. He has presented his interactive programs on the paranormal all over America and in Europe. He appears regularly on the Travel, Discovery and History Channels.
Most recently, Paul and his 18 year-old son, Ben, his "partner in the paranormal," have been working with renowned director/producer Rob Cohen on the first 3-D network television series to deal with the paranormal using Paul's and Ben's unique "multiverse" theories and methods.
The world famous father-son team hosts the international radio talk show "Behind the Paranormal with Paul & Ben Eno," syndicated on the CBS New Sky Radio network Sunday evenings at 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific. A drivetime edition of the show is broadcast in the Boston/Worcester/Providence triangle on WOON 1240 AM in New England and globally on www.ONworldwide.com, with a monthly two-hour special on the South Dakota-based Achieve Radio Network.
Paul's unusually long experience in the field, his hair-raising adventures with famous hauntings, along with his utterly unique, riveting theories about the paranormal and its meaning for our understanding of the world and ourselves, draw capacity crowds wherever he speaks. His audiences love his wit, and are always moved by his compassion, his message of deathless hope, and the accounts of families he has helped.
A former editor at "The Providence Journal," Paul is still an active New England journalist, author and editor. Paul and his family live in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Find out more about Paul and his work at www.newenglandghosts.com or www.behindtheparanormal.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and well-written, November 16, 2010

This review is from: Turning Home: God, Ghosts and Human Destiny (Paperback)

Turning Home is a well-written work that blends some philosophy, metaphysics, physics, and accounts of paranormal phenomena. Mr. Eno is a well-respected researcher in the field, and his curious nature lets him ask questions other researchers have failed to ask. The application of quantum mechanics to the field of paranormal research transforms the entire experience. For the first time, we have a theory that makes use of actual science.

What if the paranormal is entirely normal? In a quantum universe, or multiverse, the paranormal is just par for the course. What you see as a ghost could be a regular, living being from another time and place (elsewhen). There are some compelling accounts in this book, but Mr. Eno's philosophical musings really hit home.

If you're curious about the paranormal but suspicious of the standard explanations and whatnot, give this book a read and let it simmer for a bit.

The only downside is the length of the work. Something of this magnitude deserves a tome four times the size. The pace and ease of the writing lets you swim through the pages in one sitting.
