Book description
" With a foreword by James Randi Paranormal investigator Joe
Nickell has spent more than thirty years solving the world's most
perplexing mysteries. This new casebook reveals the secrets of the
Winchester Mystery House, the giant Nazca drawings of Peru, the Shroud
of Turin, the “Mothman” enigma, the Amityville Horror house, the vicious
goatsucking El Chupacabras, and numerous other “unexplainable”
paranormal phenomena. Nickell has traveled far and wide to solve cases,
which include a weeping icon in Russia, the elusive Bigfoot-like “yowie”
in Australia, the reputed power of a headless saint in Spain, and an
“alien hybrid” in Germany. He has gone undercover-often in disguise-to
reveal the tricks of those who pretend to talk to the dead, accompanied
a Cajun guide into a Louisiana swamp in search of a fabled monster, and
gained an audience with a voodoo queen. Superstar psychic medium John
Edward, pet psychic Sonya Fitzpatrick, evangelist and healer Benny Hinn,
and many other well-known figures have found themselves under Nickell's
careful scrutiny. The Mystery Chronicles examines more than three dozen
intriguing mysteries. Nickell uses a hands-on approach and the
scientific method to steer between the extremes of mystery mongering and
debunking. His investigative skills have won him both acclaim and
controversy during his long career as one of the world's foremost
paranormal investigators.
