Finally, details are lacking on Nickell's Ghostly Encounters Questionnaire, which he claims shows that those who experience paranormal events have fantasy-prone personalities. Nickell's work is fascinating, but one wishes he were better at describing it.

Nov 06, Krista Bolan rated it it was ok Recommends it for: This book takes a skeptical view of a variety of unexplained phenomena. The author tries to prove that all of these occurrences, like crop circles, moving statues, haunted houses, alien encounters - can all be explained in perfectly logical ways.
In some cases, like the chapter on the day of the dead, it's more about clearing up misunderstandings of what's really going on than proving something is a hoax. And sometimes, like in the case of the alien autopsy video, Nickell basically summarizes ca This book takes a skeptical view of a variety of unexplained phenomena. And sometimes, like in the case of the alien autopsy video, Nickell basically summarizes cases that are already known to be hoaxes.
So there's a mishmash of things going on here that keep the book from feeling unified in theme. Maybe I'm deluded, but I don't think that every mysterious occurrence can be explained in either logical or supernatural terms, because we just don't know enough. Just as someone might perceive something supernatural is happening, so too a skeptic perceives a logical explanation.

Nickell criticizes Patricia Cornwell for her lack of evidence in her book about Jack the Ripper, in which she argues the identity of the killer, but I found that the author used the same technique in this book. Often he uses persuasive argument over any real evidence that proves something was not paranormal.
So although the book was somewhat entertaining, I felt it was basically unsatisfying. Feb 27, Jean rated it liked it. Short explanations of various phenomena he has researched. All them turned out to not be true shocker! He seems like a very odd individual, quirky--he sometimes complained about being asked to investigate some reports, which is weird because that's his job.
