The world of psychic research is a world of vast discovery and
puzzles on the one hand, and deceit, con artistry, and
self-delusion on the other. It is a schizoid world that can affect
anyone who touches its Janus-like face. This book looks at both the
genuine and the fraudulent, as well as the often incredible
controversies which underlie the field of parapsychology. It is a
very personal, behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when
researching psychic phenomena. In Search of the Unknown "is crammed
with a rich and entertaining variety of experiences that range from
Rogo's] experiences in a haunted house to first-hand research into
the out-of-the-body experience. The most attractive features of the
book are its freshness, uninhibited first person narratives, and an
approach to psychic phenomenon that mixes curiosity and skepticism
in proper proportion." - Martin Ebon D. Scott Rogo (1950-1990) was
one of the most widely respected writer-journalists covering the
field of parapsychology, as well as an active scientific
investigator. Educated at the University of Cincinnati and San
Fernando Valley State College, Rogo held a unique position in
parapsychology and made many contributions to the field that
deserve recognition. He served as a visiting researcher at the
Psychical Research Foundation, then in Durham, North Carolina, and
at the Division of Parapsychology and Psychophysics of the
Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. He published
papers on ESP in referred parapsychological journals and was active
in field investigations of hauntings and poltergeists. Rogo was
also a leading authority on the history of psychical research; the
breadth of his historical knowledge of the field was unsurpassed.
Over the course of more than two-dozen published books, Rogo sought
to broaden the range of topics worthy of paranormal research.
