Books that attempt to present a wide range of mysteries all too frequently concentrate upon the more famous or more generalised examples (eg, The Loch Ness Monster, Egyptian Pyramids, stigmata, clairvoyancy) at the expense of an extraordinary wealth of other examples that are more specific and less well known but certainly no less interesting. As a result, such books as those normally suffer from an inevitable and often extensive duplication of data, including illustrative material.
In stark contrast, this book, as its title illustrates, purposefully focuses its attention on a veritable treasure trove of compelling, strange and hitherto little-known but thoroughly fascinating mysteries of every kind. Many have previously been confined to obscure, relatively inaccessible journals or specialist publications and thus have never been featured before in a mainstream popular book format.
They have been uncovered and examined by Dr Shuker during his many years of full time investigative and bibliographical researches into the phenomena of planet Earth. The contents break down into three primary sections: the natural world, the supernatural world, and the vanished world.
