Unexplained!: Strange Sightings, Incredible Occurrences & Puzzling Physical Phenomena

This is an incredibly detailed book with some extremely interesting stories. Some sections are more fun than others. Jerome Clark, the author, went to great lengths to cover topics such as Chupacabras, UFOs, Black Dogs, Lake Monsters, the Dover Demon, the Jersey Devil, and the list goes on. If you have any ammount of interest in the paranormal than come read this book. Regardless if whether or not you believe in such things, you should still buy this book. It might give you good creepy feeling after you finish. There's over 600 pages of creepy stuff in here.

"Unexplained (2nd edition) is an extensivelyupdated, completedly revised version of Jerome Clark's earlier informativefirst edition. Filled with new entries and different photographs,Unexplained is not a trick, but a treat; it's like getting a whole new bookfrom Clark. If it's not a bestseller, I'll be shocked for it combines theexplorations of curious topics for the novice with some indepth analyses forthe anomalies and Fortean audience. Highly recommended."

This book is quite possibly the best documentary of unexplained phenomenon, I have ever read. Jerome Clark details every interesting unexplained piece of information possible from the Mountain Lights to the Jersey Devil. Being the X- File freak I am, nothing interests me more than paranormal activity. If you get a book about the unexplained, I strongly recommend this one.

Mr. Clark warns the reader in the introduction about jumping to conclusions about the source of many of the strange accounts he writes about. That type of thinking is prevalant throughout the entire work. It appears to be very well researched and, instead of trying to reach conclusions, he presents the stories in a matter-of-fact approach that invites the reader to weight the evidence and decide for themselves. I found that on some topics he would get rather bogged down in the history, but he was always careful to not get to carried away. Generally a great read that I recommend to everybody I know who is interested in this type of material.

I found this to be a very interesting and good book. It covers a wide variety of topics and explains them well. If you like strange or unusual happenings/sightings you will like this one.
