An exploration of unusual experiences and alleged paranormal phenomena, from telepathy and precognition to ghosts and reincarnation, through eyewitness accounts, case studies and Clarke’s commentary.
Arthur C. Clarke’s World of Strange Powers explores experiences and phenomena that provoke curiosity, controversy and attempts at scientific explanation. Written by John Fairley and Simon Welfare, with an introduction and epilogue by Arthur C. Clarke, it brings together accounts of alleged psychic abilities and encounters interpreted as supernatural.
Subjects include telepathy, premonitions, the supposed influence of mind over matter, apparitions, poltergeists, dowsing and claims of past lives. Firewalking, stigmata and other unusual phenomena broaden the discussion. Individual cases raise questions about the reliability of witnesses, the possibilities of investigation and the relationship between an experience and the explanation attached to it.
The book’s appeal lies in the meeting of investigative curiosity and sceptical questioning. Strange experiences invite examination, while extraordinary claims call for consideration of evidence and alternative explanations.
Developed alongside the television project of the same name, this illustrated volume offers an engaging introduction to paranormal investigations. It will interest readers drawn to mysteries, unusual psychological experiences and the enduring human desire to make sense of the unknown.
