<html> <head> </head> <body> 'People are emotionally drawn to the supernatural. They actively want weird, spooky things to be true . . . Wiseman shows us a higher joy as he deftly skewers the paranormal charlatans, blows away the psychic fog and lets in the clear light of reason.' Richard Dawkins

Professor Richard Wiseman is clear about one thing: paranormal phenomena don't exist. But in the same way that the science of space travel transforms our everyday lives, so research into telepathy, fortune-telling and out-of-body experiences produces remarkable insights into our brains, behaviour and beliefs. Paranormality embarks on a wild ghost chase into this new science of the supernatural and is packed with activities that allow you to experience the impossible. So throw away your crystals, ditch your lucky charms and cancel your subscription to Reincarnation Weekly. It is time to discover the real secrets of the paranormal.

Review

'Experiments that investigate the paranormal are bizarre and entertaining, and Wiseman is a witty guide in what is often a mind-boggling read. Ultimately you'll discover why your brain is far more extraordinary than any of the supernatural claims in this book.' --New Scientist

'You might think this book is a party-pooper, removing the wonder from the our lives... (but) the message of Wiseman's book is positive. Forget about searching for wonder in the supernatural, because it does not exist. Instead, focus on the wondrous events surrounding all of us every day.'
--Simon Singh, Mail on Sunday

'A different league to your usual sceptic.' --Fortean Times

Book Description

Bestselling psychologist Richard Wiseman unravels the science behind our beliefs in telepathy, clairvoyants, mediums, ghosts, and more...

Patchily interesting...

Rather like Richard Dawkins, the author often succumbs to the temptation to tee up the glaringly obvious as a revelation...

Very interesting, fun, but has 1 glaring issue.

Interesting book! The author gives loads of interesting examples of apparent paranormality and goes through lots of mind tricks.
HOWEVER
At the start of the book he has put an Ink Blot test image. He asks you to look at it and to remember what you think it looks like. In the last chapter he re - visits the Ink Blot, but crucially NEVER TELLS YOU WTF IT IS MEANT TO BE! It is killing me! Richard. Mate. What is the ink blot?

Good book on a fascinating subject. I might have preferred more depth but it's an entertaining read.
It's about our psychology - how we can be manipulated - not only by clever, deliberate tricksters, but by OURSELVES, into seeing some events as paranormal when they are merely odd.
I'm not sure it does a thorough enough job of debunking "The Paranormal" to count as hard science - one "case study" on each topic might not be enough for a scientist, but it should at least help people realise WHEN they are being tricked, in some cases. That said, it's a nice book to leave around when my New Age sister or fundamentalist friends come to visit.
Entertaining and well written.

Very good, also shows where popular scientific theories about the paranormal were debunked, and replaced by better non paranormal explanations, also a great read.

What if I now dream I haven't written this review yet?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2013

Verified Purchase

There really isn't much I can add at this late date to the many highly intelligent and well-written contributions already here (silence, the wag who asked "well, why not add to the silly ones then?"!).
But I will say the story of ghost-hunting at Hampton Court Palace was damn nearly worth the price of the book on its own.
Thank you, Prof Wiseman!

Great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2015

I loved this book! I'm so interested in the paranormal and psychology, so this book was the perfect thing for me. I like the range of humorous stories and scientific experiments. This combination against a rather long book worked well and not once did I become bored! I would recommend this to everyone... honestly the greatest read!
