An up-to date reference for parapsychology enthusiasts: full of people, places and creatures with mystic, unexplained and paranormal significance.

Evelyn Hollow has a unique speciality in psychological methodology and focuses on the ways in which we categorise and assess paranormal phenomena for cultural and scientific study. As the creator of Hollow’s Poltergeist Scale, which is currently used worldwide, but will have its formal and expanded content debuted in this book, we can be guided through brand new systems of understanding paranormal phenomena. 

Its unique perspective is one of understanding how etymology influences our belief systems, the psychology of paranormal belief, the cultural analysis of folklore, and presenting rare and oft overlooked features of paranormal phenomena and mythology.
