In this classic study of the supernatural, Lyall Watson challenges scientific orthodoxy by applying new criteria to the investigation of the unknown.

I have never been much into science books, but this one pointed out some of the subjects that make my mind busy. While it brings up some of the ideas and believes that we all heard about before, it describes you some amazing experiments and researches and make you feel free to think and feel whatever you decide about them.
