The Strange but True Casebook

The Strange but True Casebook gathers reported paranormal cases associated with the ITV series Strange But True? Its subjects range across reincarnation, UFO sightings, poltergeist activity, miracle healers and psychic detectives, bringing together accounts presented as strange while retaining the question of whether they are genuinely true.

Jenny Randles focuses on the cases and events behind the programme’s dramatic presentations, considering the evidence as well as the claims. The result is a broad casebook of paranormal reports rather than a study confined to one phenomenon, with each subject framed around the tension between compelling testimony and the difficulty of establishing what really happened.
