‘A fascinating feast of cosmic law and order…compelling reading’ New Scientist
In this classic study of the supernatural, Lyall Watson challenges scientific orthodoxy by applying new criteria to the investigation of the unknown. Probing the ‘soft edges’ of science, Watson dispenses with the distinction between the natural and the supernatural and focuses on supernature; those phenomena that are not wholly paranormal, but which are not classified as natural occurrences according to traditional science.
‘A book of tremendous importance’ Spectator
With both scientific objectivity and a wide-eyed sense of wonder at the mysteries of the universe, this fascinating and open-minded study proves beyond doubt that science is stranger than the supernatural.

'To read this fascinating and well-documented book is to be shaken by the sheer piling-up of evidence that things are not what they seem, not by a long way'
