The Little Book of the Paranormal

Rupert Matthews surveys reported paranormal phenomena including UFOs, ghosts, Bigfoot and other claims that remain outside accepted scientific explanation. Rather than concentrating on one type of encounter, the book assembles a broad selection of subjects and reported events for a concise introduction to the field.

Short anecdotes sit alongside snippets of information and lists, giving the book a reference-like structure that can be dipped into easily. The accounts are presented as reports and claims rather than established fact, reflecting the disputed status of phenomena frequently described by eyewitnesses but not recognised by science as genuine. Its compact format makes room for a wide range of paranormal themes without developing each case at book-length.
