The Skeptic's guide to the Paranoramal



Can a human being really spontaneously burst into flames? Just how deadly is the Bermuda Triangle? And what’s the real story behind all those alien abductions?
The answers to these and many other questions lie within the covers of The Skeptic’s Guide to the Paranormal. Guaranteed to liven up any dinner party, this delightful, highly readable book offers color photographs and scientific case-by-case explanations for twenty-seven phenomena that appear to defy known science, including ghosts and poltergeists, the predictions of Nostradamus, and yogic levitation, among many others.

Speaking directly to the reader, and always with respect for those who believe, Kelly gives us a bite-size, nonacademic approach to debunking hugely popular superstitions and mysteries. Did you know that you, too, can bend spoons and read minds? This book will show you how.


One of the books I loaned from library recently..it's surprisingly interesting although unfortunately i din get to finish some parts of the book because it's past the due date. =P

Some of the topics that might piques my attention...the loch ness monster, bermuda triangle, spontaneous human combustion, alien abductions and sightings, past lives, walking on hot coals and the shroud of Turin. (i am esp interested in the last topic bcos it's my first time knowing such a thing exists..and i ask two christian friends who told me christians among themselves were divided as to whether it's genuine..hmm..? is it really true?)
