Human imagination is stirred by scary things, the things that go bump in the night. We are fascinated by stories of people with special powers; we make them our superheroes. This book helps readers to think critically about paranormal phenomena from clinical, intelligent perspectives. Essays explore the issues surrounding paranormal phenomena by placing opinions from a wide range of sources in a pro versus ​con format. Across three chapters, readers will evaluate whether paranormal phenomena exist, why people want to believe in them, and whether belief in them conflicts with religious beliefs.
