Secrets of the Supernatural cover

This book investigates various intriguing enigmas, including hauntings and the Crystal Skull, using scientific methods to uncover rational explanations.

In Secrets of the Supernatural, authors Joe Nickell and John F. Fischer explore a variety of intriguing enigmas that have puzzled humanity for generations. From the haunting of Mackenzie House, where the spirit of Toronto's rebel statesman is said to tread noisily upon the stairs, to the mystery of the Crystal Skull, dubbed the 'grand-daddy of all crystal balls,' the book delves into cases that straddle the line between the paranormal and the explainable. The investigation also includes the curious case of 'The Two Will Wests,' two inmates sharing the same name and strikingly similar features, as well as other captivating phenomena such as bleeding doors and disappearing footprints.

Utilizing their expertise as professional crime-solvers, Nickell and Fischer arm themselves with an array of scientific methods and information sources to navigate the labyrinth of the unknown. Their approach is not merely to debunk these mysteries but to uncover the details and evidence that surround them. By employing techniques such as forensic analysis, controlled testing, archaeology, and deductive logic, they provide a comprehensive look at how these enigmas can be understood through a rational lens.

While the answers may not align with the beliefs of ardent supernatural enthusiasts, Secrets of the Supernatural offers unique insights into the meticulous methodologies used by the authors. The book serves as both an exploration of fascinating cases and a guide to the investigative strategies that can lead to convincing explanations for these captivating mysteries.
