Beyond the Impossible: 20th Century Almanac Book

Truth is stranger than fiction. No fantasy could match the oddities of the world we inhabit, a planet where people burst into flames for no apparent reason; where fish, frogs and all manner of objects fall from the sky like rain; where water, blood or crude oil spurt from dry walls; where space aliens, ghosts and prehistoric creatures emerge out of thin air to confront astonished witnesses. Otherwise ordinary men and women have shown powers unrecognised by science - ESP, thoughtography, and fire walking among them. Unseen intelligences have made their presence known through a variety of mysterious and often frightening manifestations: phone calls from the dead; violent alien abductions and UFO livestock mutilations. These and other weird phenomena seem to turn upside-down our entire view of the world. This book chronicles year by year the 20th century's most curious paranoraml events. It draws upon mysteries from over 20 countries: new light is shed on previously documented psychic research, often with the help of information until recently hidden from public view in secret government files.
