I fight them. Fifteen years ago, the FBI took down Mason Kane, the most notorious black sorcerer and cult leader the world had ever seen. The media called him a monster. To me, he was just 'Dad.'I was only thirteen when the Feds raided my home and put an end to my father's reign of darkness. Ever since then, the infernal deeds of my father have haunted me. I'm cursed, branded with a name that strikes fear into the hearts of everyone who hears it.Perhaps that's why I've devoted my life to becoming an expert on the occult and applying my knowledge for good. Armed with the magic of my father's ceremonial blade, I assist the world's law enforcement agencies when things get weird. I've faced all sorts of otherworldly horrors over the years. Vampires, demons, witches, ghosts, black magic sorcerers. But no matter how many monsters I defeat, will it be ever be enough to wash away the sins of my father?The Paranormalist is the beginning of a fast-paced occult horror adventure series full of chills, twists, and mystery. For fans of supernatural/paranormal dark urban fantasy action.

Television, the movies, and computer games fill the minds of their viewers with a daily staple of fantasy, from tales of UFO landings, haunted houses, and communication with the dead to claims of miraculous cures by gifted healers or breakthrough treatments by means of fringe medicine. The paranormal is so ubiquitous in one form of entertainment or another that many people easily lose sight of the distinction between the real and the imaginary, or they never learn to make the distinction in the first place. In this thorough review of pseudoscience and the paranormal in contemporary life, psychologist Terence Hines teaches readers how to carefully evaluate all such claims in terms of scientific evidence.Hines devotes separate chapters to psychics; life after death; parapsychology; astrology; UFOs; ancient astronauts, cosmic collisions, and the Bermuda Triangle; faith healing; and more. New to this second edition are extended sections on psychoanalysis and pseudopsychologies, especially recovered memory therapy, satanic ritual abuse, facilitated communication, and other questionable psychotherapies. There are also new chapters on alternative medicine, which is now marketed in our drug stores, and on environmental pseudoscience, with special emphasis on the evidence that certain technologies like cell phones or environmental agents like asbestos cause cancer.Finally, Hines discusses the psychological causes for belief in the paranormal despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. This valuable, highly interesting, and completely accessible analysis critiques the whole range of current paranormal claims.

The Encyclopedia of the Paranormal contains over 90 articles by more than 50 experts on topics including the strictly paranormal (psychokinesis, channeling, levitation, astrology, phrenology, palmistry); the historical (mediums, psychic research, alchemy, Houdini); the philosophical (miracles, survival of death, reincarnation); and work on investigatory photography, statistics, the media and the Bermuda Triangle. In his foreword, Carl Sagan says, "I wish [this book] were on the shelves of every newspaper editorial desk and every television newsroom, to encourage more skeptical backbone in reporting . . . . [I]n school libraries so that children would have some counterbalance to the many paranormal and mystical claims in our society."

The book charts a course through a confusing ocean in which genuine marvel is mixed up with make-believe and misperception. Modern parapsychological research, UFO sightings, the Loch Ness Monster and ancient astronauts are covered. So too are those prominent in the history of the paranormal, from Paracelsus to Aleister Crowley, C.G. Jung to Harry Houdini. General entries on cults, beliefs and religions through the ages suggest how our perceptions of the paranormal arise from the past and are shaped into modern culture.

--Facts, not fiction: the case for the paranormal. Changing the way we look at the universe is not an easy accomplishment, and requires a true openness to exploration and experiment. Professor Ellison suggests that most of us are conditioned by our Western science-based education to think that the universe is much simpler and "material" than it really is. He argues that we should recognize the limits of the current scientific worldview which fails to account for genuine paranormal experiences, including phenomena such as out-of-body experiences (OBE), reliably reported by thousands of people. In honestly exploring these areas, rather than denying them, he argues we could look more deeply into the real nature of human existence.
