Reviews

[Bryn Hammond]

Case studies with extensive quotes. Includes 'The Shamanism of the North Asiastic Peoples in its Relationship to Possession' -- we'll see. Weston La Barre in The Ghost Dance: Origins Of Religion was enthusiastic on its wealth of weird material.

[Khalillaher]

Classic work written on this subject. Author was agnostic and started believing in the ‘paranormal’ after his research.
