Explore a riveting collection of scientific theories, first-hand experiences, and spine-chilling stories that beg the question: Is there a parallel world that we can’t see?


For centuries people have reported odd occurrences that defy explanation. And a fascination with the mystical still exists today. Movies such as Ghost and The Sixth Sense and TV shows like The X-Files entertain our curiosity with the unexplained. The six expert authors of Unseen World will guide you through a wide spectrum of mysterious events. With the help of eyewitness accounts, more than 100 black-and-white photographs, and “Bare Bones” sidebars—which provide practical definitions of supernatural phenomenon—you will discover a range of claims and counterclaims by sleuths and university professors alike, who have explored the possibility of a nonphysical realm of living spirits. You’ll even discover some hoaxes and frauds along the way.


Five information-filled sections will reveal:


* The spiritual: Mediums, reincarnation, spirit guides, séances, trance speaking, clairvoyance, and psychic and absent healing
* The paranormal: Near-death experiences, hypnotic regression to past lives, prophecies and predictions, déjà vu, intuition and coincidences, and dream interpretation
