Author:Craig Hamilton-Parker
Most of us have had psychic experiences at one time or another; we may find a new place strangely familiar, finish other people's sentences or sense a definite positive or negative feeling about a house. Almost everyone has some latent psychic ability.
The Psychic Handbook provides a fun, entertaining way to develop your psychic power. Craig Hamilton-Parker takes you step-by-step through skills such as mediumship, prophesy, psychometry, dream analysis, dowsing, numerology and clairvoyance. He also shows how you can learn to meditate in order to liberate the intuition that is the basis of all psychic ability, and find out about crystals and how they can have a beneficial effect on your life.
Packed with information, experiments and games, including special cards developed by scientists to test your telepathic skills, The Psychic Handbook will show how you can explore an undiscovered part of your personality and unlock your psychic potential.
At first I was a sceptic, but Craig and Jane Hamilton-Parker are really incredible!

—— Starburst MagazineWhy do ghosts wear clothes? This is just one of a number of interesting questions raised by this jaunty book ... In a series of short, snappy chapters, Clarke examines the evidence for just about every ghost who ever drew, or withdrew, breath ... but A Natural History of Ghosts is also haunted by another story, lurking not very far beneath: the story of the author's childhood need to believe in ghosts, and the gradual erosion of that belief
