Customer Reviews

Well written skeptical look at how to approach the "unexplained"

Though a rather old book now, this remains a good starting point for anyone interested in the skeptical (or scientific) investigation of claims of supernatural phenomena. The guiding principle is that extraordinary claims require at least pretty decent evidence. Additionally, there is a significant chance of fraud in these phenomena (that has historically been the case regardless of the merits of individual cases) and exploring and exposing such instances.

The most intelligent book on the paranormal out there.

This really is invaluable to anyone interested in researching paranormal claims. Full of humor, references and suggestions, it's like a gigantic handbook, or operations manual for the paranormally inclined. Told from a skeptical point of view, the insight and commentary is enlightening. A must-have in the library of anyone who has an interest in all aspects of the supernatural.
