BOOK: Rough Guide to Unexplained Phenomena

There are many unexplained things in the world. Some have obvious explanations (crop circles, stigmata, the Loch Ness monster) while others are more complexing (talking cats, bleeding statues, how your mum always manage to call you at the most inconvenient time), but regardless how small and strange these phenomena are, there is still something about them that makes great conversation.

Over the last few years, the Rough Guide books have been providing a, well, rough guide to a range of broad yet stimulating subjects, from British comedy to poker. Although a good starting place to learn a particular subject, the books tend to merely give lucid facts and stories, most of which anyone who has a passing interested in the subject would probably have already known. The Fortean Times, who helped make this book, clearly know a vast amount about the unknown (a contradiction if I ever heard one), but if you are already interested in the unexplained, then this book will merely serve as a way of highlighting to people your interests. Probably best to only consider purchasing this book if you want to impress a Goth.
