From fire walking to the prophesies of Nostradamus, this new book
pares the fiction from many popular theories, and urges us to
educate ourselves through critical inquiry.
The late Jeane Dixon claimed she predicted the assassination of
President Kennedy, and to millions this prediction gave her the
credibility to be a top psychic. Yet the media and Dixon's devoted
followers dare not question, or even recognize, the many failed
predictions she offered over the years. Nostradamus is so
well-known today that many people actually fear the date he
predicted for World War III. Yet when his "prophecies" do not come
true, the fiction-hungry media and public turn a blind eye.
Bizarre Beliefs spans the globe in search of rational and
factual explanations for UFO claims, alien abductions, the Bermuda
Triangle, crop circles, evidence of a living Elvis Presley, fortune
tellers, Nostradamus' writings, spiritualism, astrology,
graphology, fire walking, biorhythms, hypnosis, divining, ghosts,
the curse of Tutankhamun, the Loch Ness monster, and "shocking"
coincidences. This fascinating book of investigative enquiry
questions our ability to believe the outrageously unbelievable, and
discloses the gullibility of the human mind, which discounts reason
for the romance of the absurd. Bizarre Beliefs is an amusing,
informative, and outstandingly well-written account of the world of
weird.
