Weird Sights and Fantastic Visions

This guide to the world of anomalous psychology (the psychology of strange experiences) explains the myriad different ways in which the mind can produce strange imagery or interpret the world in odd ways. It explains how unremarkable sights and sounds can easily become transformed into monsters and spirits, and how fragile reality can be even in everyday life. You'll learn about common hallucinations that happen to almost everyone, see how memories and experiences that seem utterly real can be created from virtually nothing, and discover the thin line between the strange and the ordinary, 'reality' and the unreal. This fascinating guide to the world of the extraordinary is essential reading for sceptics and believers alike.
