This is a thoroughly engaging volume on the subject of paranormal phenomena. Some entries are quite exhaustive, while I feel that others could have been more so.
It really wins out by including figures and subjects that others might relegate to more mundane categories like Freud and masks.
It's a handy informative reference for any occultist. (less)

Not an easy read, but a very educational one. Lots of information. It covered everything from religion to ESP to the people involved. Very comprensive. A very good reference. Good to read a bit at a time.

Rosemary Ellen Guiley
I work full-time in the paranormal and metaphysical fields, which means I lead a most unusual and highly adventurous life. I have written more than 50 books, including single-volume encyclopedias, on a variety of topics, A-Z, angels to zombies and everything in between. I cover the entire spectrum of the paranormal, for everything fits together, even the paranormal and the metaphysical. My work is part of my spiritual journey; probing into the Unknown, the Other Side, and other dimensions is my search for Truth.
I undertake field investigations of ghosts, UFOs, aliens, ultraterrestrials, Shadow People, Bigfoot, mysterious creatures, Djinn, demons, angels, fairies and more. I am frequently out on the road, and I have had plenty of first-hand experiences of many of the things I document in my books. We live on an "Interdimensional Earth" that is increasingly revealing itself as our consciousness expands. My work is devoted to the how and why we have other-reality experiences, and to helping people understand their experiences and integrate the value of them into life. I also deal with problem hauntings and spirit attachments.
On the metaphysical side, my work is devoted to helping people develop their spiritual path for more enlightened and prosperous living. My areas of emphasis are angels; dreams and dreamwork; intuitive, psychic and manifestation skills; the afterlife; spirit communication; meditation and prayer; past lives; and other experiences of an intense spiritual nature. I am a certified hypnotist with the International Hypnosis Federation, and have trained in various energy healing modalities.
In addition to my research and writing, I keep a busy media and lecture schedule, publish a complimentary e-newsletter called "Strange Dimensions," and run my own publishing and productions company, Visionary Living, Inc.

fast delivery. I got the thing I asked and paid for. I don't know why this is making me put so much effort into the review. If you buy from these people, you'll get what you agreed to. The book wasn't as good as I had expected, but thats not anyones fault.

Very extensive. With mystical, historical, as well as scientific explanations. Has some pictures of people but could use more diagrams and such. With such a subject, I find the date of release to be of not too much importance except some of the scientific explanations. Although Science is a revolving wheel, new discoveries change the nature of way we look at things. Still very good refrence book.
