In every corner of this earth there are secrets. They are hidden in the dark edge of the woods, nestled in the cold stars, and staring out from a stranger's eyes. And whether they be demonic possession or an unsolved murder, the unknown has always haunted our dreams.

From the hit podcast Unexplained comes a volume perfectly crafted for the curious, the cynical, and the not-easily-frightened. Richard Maclean Smith is the expert in the unknown, and humbly offers up ten tales of real-life events that continue to evade explanation. With these chilling stories comes the missing key: a connection to our own beliefs in science, superstition, and perception.

What can a case of demonic possession teach us about free will? What can a cursed box show us about the act of storytelling? What can a supposed instance of reincarnation tell us about developing a concept of the self?

Perhaps some things are just better left unexplained...

Reviews for Unexplained: Real-Life Supernatural Stories for Uncertain Times

Gripping stories that lead you through that undefined space between imagination, subconscious, and somewhere more terrifying - definitely one to read with all the lights on! -- Edward Brooke-Hitching, author of The Phantom Atlas -- 57056 I really enjoyed the back story and the in-depth detail it went into regarding each of the cases. There is also a lot of author explanation and discussion that I enjoyed, as I feel like a lot of these things are easily dismissed by those who range from highly skeptical to just not sure how to feel about it. Maclean Smith does a good job of talking people through the different happenings and stories and helping them see why there might be more than something that can be so easily dismissed. -- Reading For Sanity-- 62176 Unsolved mysteries and strange events fill these pages and there is something for anyone with eerie interests. -- The Nerdy Girl Express-- 61677
