Bizarre Cases. - Review - book review

Skeptical Inquirer,  March, 2001  by Kendrick Frazier

The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), P.O. Box 703, Amherst, NY 14226-0703. 2000. 168 pp. Softcover. $10. A collection of twenty-one articles from the SKEPTICAL INQUIRER. The emphasis in this slender book is on mostly short pieces that involve classic case-study Investigations of the paranormal.

It is divided into sections on alternative medicine, aliens, entities, urban legends, and "mind games" (e.g., "Hidden Messages and the Bible Code" and "Superstition and the Regression Effect"). The aim is to plant a seed of skepticism and provide readers with good-quality skeptical investigations and information on bizarre claims not normally presented in most popular accounts.
