A must for the bookshelf of any explorer of the mysteries

Presented as a series of essays on the problems facing modern parapsychologists this book is a must have for anyone approaching parapsychology as a science. Emphasis is placed on skepticism and the need for hard data. The scams and frauds of the past are examined and the role of sleight of hand is covered. If you firmly believe in Psi power, ghosts, and other such phenomena then this book might leave you a bit perturbed. On the other hand if you wish to approach parapsychology as a science and can maintain a level of skepticism in your investigations then this book is of inestimable value.
