dreams foretold the winning horses in multiple races to scores of accounts of spirit possession and poltergeists It explores the amazing hidden powers of the human mind, from ESP to precognition, and considers the mysterious forces for good or evil – poltergeists, spirit possession and reincarnation – that convinced Colin Wilson of the reality of disembodied spirits This new edition of the classic
