The Paranormal: A Modern Perspective by John Spencer
There are two types of paranormal case occurring in the 20th century: first, cases that are inextricably intertwined with the century's technological advances, from people who can switch on and off street-lighting at will to human interference with cars, radios and computer terminals; the second category groups occurrences which echo ancient cases with a curiously modern twist. Take, for example, the Incubus and Succubus - centuries-old entities that impregnate women with non-human seed - and compare them with films such as The Omen or Rosemary's Baby. Classic cases of ghost and poltergeist sightings, clairvoyance and telekinesis are reported to occur in the 1990s as frequently and spookily as they ever did - this book has the advantage that its witnesses are still alive to tell the tale.
