The book on the paranormal, endorsed by consciousness experts as the best introduction to psychic phenomena, offers the latest scientific research as well as highly compelling anecdotes.

Go inside the twilight zone of human consciousness with this "superb survey of the paranormal"—hailed by experts as the best introduction to psychic phenomena (Herbie Brennan, New York Times-bestselling author).

This is the most entertaining and broad survey of the paranormal ever made—combining forgotten lore, evidence from parapsychological experiments, and the testimonies of scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, psychologists, physicists, and philosophers. Exploring the possibility that paranormal phenomena may be objectively real, this travelogue through the twilight zone of human consciousness is both scientifically rigorous and extremely entertaining.

Readers may be surprised to learn that reputable scientists, among them several Nobel laureates, have claimed that:

  • Telepathy is a reality
  • Cleopatra's lost palace and Richard III's burial place were recovered with clairvoyance
  • The US military set up an espionage program using psychics

Could it be that what we usually call "supernatural" is a natural but little-understood communication via this mental internet? The winner of the most prestigious award in the field, the Parapsychological Association Book Award, A Short History of (Nearly) Everything Paranormal is an engaging, entertaining and informative analysis of a controversial subject.
