"A layman will no doubt find it hard to understand how pathological disorders of the body and mind can be eliminated by 'mere' words. He will feel that he is being asked to believe in magic. And he will not be so very wrong for the words which we use in our everyday speech are nothing more than watered down magic." (Freud) This book provides further developments of such ideas, including Freud's uncanny, Jung's synchronicity, Daniels' transpersonal, Clarke's mindfulness and Sollod's anomalous experiences. The paranormal could be seen as being fundamental to the psychological therapies. Occasionally a writer brings this potential to our attention but questions of science, evidence-based practice, etc. continue to dominate. Yet does this continue to lead to 'what's denied running even more wild'? Further, might the lessening of the paranormal be primarily what is lost, the aura, through the increase in internet therapy? The question of the paranormal and the psychological therapies continues to persist, not only for psychoanalysis but the psychological therapies in general. This book attempts to address that. The chapters in this book, apart from a new introduction and a new chapter, were originally published in the European Journal of Psychotherapy and Counselling.

Investigating haunted buildings with New Zealand's very own ghost hunters. Are the dead really all around us, treading the boards of theatres, pacing the corridors of prisons, or terrifying the occupants of scary old houses? Or are ghosts just in the mind of those who think they've seen them? What is ectoplasm? And can you really photograph a ghost? Join New Zealand paranormal investigators Strange Occurrences as they search for the truth behind the dark stories of some of the country's most infamous haunted sites, as well as some of its lesser known ones. In their quest for clues about the nature of ghosts, the team has travelled the length and breadth of New Zealand to meet mediums, psychics, fellow paranormal investigators, a skeptic or two, a real live parapsychologist, a 'hair raiser', the long-time usher of a haunted theatre, the owners of New Zealand's most haunted pub, and perhaps even a ghost or two. They also tell you about the history of paranormal research, from its origins in the séance rooms of Victorian England to the TV shows of today, and show you how to unravel the mysteries of orbs and other photographic oddities. In Spooked, you'll encounter a range of beliefs, theories, a bit of history, accounts of actual paranormal investigations, creepy stories of ghostly encounters, and some pretty heavy science stuff that might just make the hinges of your brain creak apart. As for the truth about spooks? Well, that's for you to decide ...

The paranormal has gone mainstream.Beliefs are on the rise, with almost half of the British population, and two thirds of Americans, claiming to believe in extra sensory perceptions and hauntings. Psychic magazines like Spirit and Destiny, television shows such as Fringe, Ghost Whisperer and Most Haunted, ghost-cams and e-poltergeists, bestselling books on mind, body and spirit, and magicians like Derren Brown have moved from the outer limits to the centre of popular culture, turning paranormal beliefs and scepticism into revenue streams. Paranormal Media offers a unique, timely exploration of the extraordinary, unexplained and supernatural in popular culture, looking in unusual places in order to understand this phenomenon. Early spirit forms such as magic lantern shows or the spirit photograph are re-imagined as a search for extraordinary experiences in reality TV, ghost tourism, and live shows. Through a popular cultural ethnography, and critical analysis in social and cultural theory, this ground-breaking book by Annette Hill presents an original and rigorous examination of people's experiences of spirits and magic. In popular culture, people are players in an orchestral movement about what happens to us when we die. In a very real sense the audience is the show. This book is the story of audiences and their participation in a show about matters of life and death. Paranormal Media will be a highly interesting read for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics, on a wide range of television, media, cultural studies, and sociology courses.

A rare and different approach to the paranormal -- one that applies scientific rigor and reveals what is true and what is not in telepathy, reincarnation, possession, and a host of other unusual phenomena. The author cares about truth, not dogma, so each fascinating case study gets thorough -- and fair -- consideration. Encounter celebrated mediums and psychics. Sift through tales of past lives recalled during hypnosis, as well as multiple personalities. Weigh the facts surrounding magic, entities, mind over matter, hysteria, stigmatics, and time travel. Photographs and drawings serve as potential evidence. Do you think that fuzzy image of a man in Combermere Abbey is a ghost? Were Eleonore Zugun's scars self-inflicted or caused by an angry spirit? "North provides an informed commentary on all facets of parapsychology, including life after death, mind over matter, ESP, and precognition...(He) seeks to explain all paranormal phenomena in a novel way. Taking a cue from Carl Jung, he postulates a collective, communal database of human memory that individuals can interact with, consciously or unconsciously....A speculative essay with a different perspective. -- Booklist. "(An) intelligent and measured volume..". -- Publishers Weekly.

Interest in preternatural and supernatural themes has revitalized the Gothic tale, renewed explorations of psychic powers and given rise to a host of social and religious movements based upon claims of the fantastical. And yet, in spite of this widespread enthusiasm, the academic world has been slow to study this development. This volume rectifies this gap in current scholarship by serving as an interdisciplinary overview of the relationship of the paranormal to the artefacts of mass media (e.g. novels, comic books, and films) as well as the cultural practices they inspire. After an introduction analyzing the paranormal’s relationship to religion and entertainment, the book presents essays exploring its spiritual significance in a postmodern society; its (post)modern representation in literature and film; and its embodiment in a number of contemporary cultural practices. Contributors from a number of discplines and cultural contexts address issues such as the shamanistic aspects of Batman and lesbianism in vampire mythology. Covering many aspects of the paranormal and its effect on popular culture, this book is an important statement in the field. As such, it will be of utmost interest to scholars of religious studies as well as media, communication, and cultural studies.

A Gallop poll surveyed 506 American teenagers, aged 13 to 18 and discovered the following:- 69% believe in angels - 59% believe in ESP- 55% believe in astrology - 28% believe in clairvoyance- 24% believe in Bigfoot - 22% believe in witchcraft- 20% believe in ghosts - 18% believe in the Loch Ness MonsterCarl Sagan has said that the wonders of real science far surpass the supposed and imagined mysteries of fringe science. Yet, as statistics show, the paranormal is still an endless source of fascination for people around the world.This collection of critical essays and investigative reports examines virtually every area of fringe science and the paranormal from a refreshingly scientific and clear-minded viewpoint. The authors are noted scientists, philosophers, psychologists, and writers. All bring to the task a determination to sift sense from nonsense and fact from fiction in an area notorious for misinformation, misperception, self-delusion, and wishful thinking. They do so in a way that highlights the differences between real science and pseudoscience. They've made special efforts first to find the actual facts behind numerous claims that have popular appeal, and then to explain and communicate what scientific investigation and reasoning reveal about them. Subjects treated to incisive and entertaining examination include astrology, ESP, psychic detectives, psychic predictions, parapsychology, remote-viewing, UFOs, creationism, the Shroud of Turin, coincidences, cult archaeology, palmistry and fringe medicine.There are also explorations of the implications of paranormal beliefs for science education.

Clairvoyance and other paranormal phenomena have polarised opinion since the birth of civilisation. They have been reported in the Bible, yoga sutras and other ancient texts. David Akerman has worked as a clairvoyant and joined the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) in 2020. He states that he never considered himself religious, but he has been forced to admit that several phenomena that he considered to be impossible, have been proven by rigorous scientific experiments carried out by leading scientists, with staggering odds-against-chance, sometimes of over a billion-to-one. These phenomena include clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition, prayer and distant healing which have historically been practised by the majority of mainstream religions and spiritual organisations. In this Akerman's first book, he shares with the reader his attempt to find scientific and rational explanations for 12 cases of paranormal activity experienced by friends, acquaintances and family; these include apparitions, levitation, after-death communication, distant healing, out-of-body and near-death-experiences, poltergeist activity and time warps. He then goes on to share his experiences of working as a clairvoyant where, to his amazement, during readings, information about a person's past, present and future appears to be accessible. These results led him to ask the question: What is the relationship between this phenomenon and the past, present and future all existing simultaneously? This concept is known as the 'block universe', was hypothesised by Albert Einstein in his theory of relativity. 'Snapshots' is a fascinating collection of paranormal cases and thought-provoking anecdotes regarding life after death, ESP, animal and plant communication. Including a review of the history of parapsychology and how some religions and scientific communities still refuse to accept the scientific evidence for psi (paranormal phenomena) His quest takes him to the zero point field, Society for Psychical Research, Edinburgh University, famous TV psychics, outer space, the 'Stevenage Poltergeist' and the orcas of Vancouver Island.
