The truth is out there, but looking for it is the real fun.
Now, countless X-philes and insatiable fans of the supernatural, occult, and UFOs can rejoice as trusted investigator Jerome Clark once again journeys to the outer limits of science and nature in an updated and expanded edition of this popular, award-winning work. Continuing his authoritative, intelligent, and reasoned examination of strange artifacts and events that have perplexed scientists, Clark explores a wide range of phenomena, documenting the evidence and hearing the witnesses out. Two hundred mysteries and hoaxes are thoroughly examined, including cattle mutilations, crop circles, spontaneous human combustion, Martian lore, Roswell, Loch Ness, the Old Hag, weather phenomena, faeries, Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle, living dinosaurs, ghosts, UFOs, pterodactyl sightings, flying humanoids, hollow earth, and other absorbing puzzles. Along the way readers will learn of hoaxes (Ummo, Cottingley Fairy Photographs) and witness the creation of various modern myths (alligators in sewers, Men in Black). One of the most dependable, scholarly, and professional voices in the Fortean world, Clark delivers the facts with novelistic flair, cites sources for further research, and lets the reader make his or her own judgment based on the information available and their current mental state. More than 150 photos and illustrations grace the pages. Trust in Jerry.
