Mysterious Realms - a fresh look at the paranormal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an excellent eye opening book for anyone who is fascinated with stories of ghosts, miracles, UFO's and crop circles. It's a rare book that takes an in depth look and shows the information that most paranormal books leave out. Joe has been investigating paranormal and non paranormal incidents for years. I've heard some people nit pick individual facts that Joe may have gotten wrong, but have yet to find anything that would impugn his integrity. The book is over 200 pages with foot notes and an excellent index. Joe's background knowledge and detective skills are thorough. Joe has a whole lot of books out including a paranormal detective book for kids.
