The Supernatural

Rupert Matthews surveys a range of reported psychical phenomena, introducing claims and beliefs that have long surrounded the supernatural. The book covers extrasensory perception, reincarnation, foretelling the future, dowsing and levitation, presenting these subjects in a concise reference format.

Rather than concentrating solely on ghosts, it broadens the discussion to include abilities, experiences and practices that have been described as beyond ordinary explanation. Its brief treatment makes room for several distinct areas of paranormal belief, from alleged communication or perception at a distance to claims about previous lives and unexplained physical effects.
