This thought-provoking study of paranormal phenomena traces the
impact of supernatural beliefs on popular culture and, conversely,
examines the influence of new communication technologies on
research being conducted in the field. Did you know that interest
in UFO research increased during the 1960s as a result of the
Kennedy assassination? Or that America experienced a Satanic Panic
in the 1980s that culminated with the longest, most expensive court
trial in American history? This book reviews the history, economy,
and community of paranormal research in this country, and considers
the deeper meaning behind the philosophies and theories surrounding
the industry. Paranormal Nation: Why America Needs Ghosts, UFOs,
and Bigfoot explores the events that have defined paranormal belief
systems today. From the birth of religious doctrine, to European
witch hunts, to the increasing popularity of the supernatural in
American television programming, the author examines the past and
present conditions that have fueled interest in the unexplained and
considers what this trend means for modern-day America.

something, and it seems they are powerless to stop it, sending them
down an all-too-real path of self-destruction and insanity. As the

normal people are twisted into doing the unthinkable.
