In this exciting account of the supernatural and paranormal, Arthur C. Clarke tells you stories of bizarre and seemingly unbelievable things from all over the world. Clarke looks into age-old questions like:

-Do the Loch Ness Monster and the Yeti exist?
-Did ancient civilizations develop forgotten technologies far beyond their supposed capabilities? For example, did the Parthians invent a battery in 240 BCE? Did the Chinese isolate aluminum 15 centuries before the Western world?
-Can you will someone to die and make it happen?
-How did ancient South Americans draw the Nazca Lines, which can only be viewed from the air?
-Is time travel possible?

All these strange phenomena - and many more - are investigated by Clarke and his collaborators in an entertaining, thoughtful style.
