Description:
The world of psychic research is a world of vast discovery and puzzles on the one hand, and deceit, con artistry, and self-delusion on the other. It is a schizoid world that can affect anyone who touches its Janus-like face. This book looks at both the genuine and the fraudulent, as well as the often incredible controversies which underlie the field of parapsychology. It is a very personal, behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when researching psychic phenomena.
Review Quotes:
In Search of the Unknown "is crammed with a rich and entertaining variety of experiences that range from [Rogo's] experiences in a haunted house to first-hand research into the out-of-the-body experience. The most attractive features of the book are its freshness, uninhibited first person narratives, and an approach to psychic phenomenon that mixes curiosity and skepticism in proper proportion." - Martin Ebon
"...a worthy read...[and] a classic example of excellent scientific writing -- crisp, accurate, self-assured..." - Ghost Magazine
