Description
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.

Is the future knowable? Are there programs that are peering into the possible outcomes of planet? This book by T Simonsen is a real page turner. I have followed this kind of information for a long time but I learned things I didnt know, nor would have ever thought! From religious behind the scenes Glastonbury archeology to Project Stargate the plot flows in a way that makes sense in a new way to me. I was especially interested in Remote Viewing as I have had some experience in that area. I learned that someone knows more about what is to become of us than they are admitting to. Why would governments be interested in Paranormal incidents? I know why now.
Fascinating, relevent, and written in a way as if you are talking to the author in person. All people who want to know the truth should read this title.

If you are looking for an incredibly well researched, encyclopedic book about the paranormal, you've come to the right place. Each entry provides a look at paranormal phenomenon, often with surprising historical context, and its acceptance by many in the scientific and military communities. The author makes connections between a sort of mental Internet among human beings and what many consider to be clairvoyance. A thought provoking work.
Full Disclosure--NetGalley and the publisher provided me with a digital ARC of this book. This is my honest review.
