Melvin Harris

This was actually a reprint of a book that came out in 1986, which I didn't realize when I picked it up. Oh well -- it was still entertaining and enlightening. Harris debunks some of the most famous supposed psychic and supernatural events. The first chapter, debunking the Amityville Horror, is particularly worth reading. The author's style was grating after a while, though, as he comes off as extremely smug and also overuses exclamation points!
