About this listen

Professor Richard Wiseman is clear about one thing: paranormal phenomena don't exist. But in the same way that the science of space travel transforms our everyday lives, so research into telepathy, fortune-telling and out of body experiences produces remarkable insights into our brains, behaviour and beliefs.

Paranormality embarks on a wild ghost chase into this new science of the supernatural and is packed with activities that allow you to experience the impossible. So throw away your crystals, ditch your lucky charms and cancel your subscription to Reincarnation Weekly. It is time to discover the real secrets of the paranormal.

Learn how to control your dreams and leave your body behind. Convince complete strangers that you know all about them. Unleash the power of your unconscious mind.

An excellent introduction to the subject

Very useful for refuting the pervasive woo of paranormal enthusiasts. I may have to buy the hardcopy as a reference...

excellent explanations

This is a counter balance to 100% believing in ghosts and psychics. However, I am leaving the door open to what Ghosts actually are. Is nice to be scared now and again, even if its all in the mind and dodgie plumbing !

Interesting, easy listen

This covers some interesting subjects, such as 'mind reading' and telepathy, as well as looking at out of body experiences. It's a good insight into our own brains can trick us, as well as some of the tricks used by the people themselves. It's a light listen, easy to understand.

My stars told me psychics were fake

If you could sum up Paranormality in three words, what would they be?

Fun, Informative, Clever

Would you listen to another book narrated by Peter Noble?

Overall I liked Peter's narration but he should leave doing the accents for a different type of book. I was a little disappointed that Professor Wiseman did not do it himself as on TV & Youtube he communicates his material really well.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Smile and Surpise

Great introduction to Para-Psychology

Another great book by Richard Wiseman.The psychology of the paranormal has been touched on in a few of his other books, but this goes into a good deal of depth and discusses a few areas of paranormal phenomena, a little bit of interesting history behind the Ouija Board and how Psychologists and scientists have explained things.
