Paranormality

Author(s): Richard Wiseman

Non-Fiction

Bestselling psychologist Richard Wiseman unravels the science behind our beliefs in telepathy, guardian angels, mediums, ghosts, and more . . . For the past twenty years, psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman has immersed himself in the weird world of supernatural science; testing telepaths, spending nights in haunted castles, and attempting to talk with the dead. In Paranormality he cuts through the hype and goes in search of the truth behind extraordinary stories of poltergeists, possession and second sight. And along the way, he shows us some really rather remarkable things about how our brains work, how it is possible to have an out-of-body experience or lucid dream of our own, and just why we feel the need to believe. . .
