What was once considered impossible in a rational world, has, through indisputable evidence, become all too possible. From the undeniable accuracy of end-of-the-world prophesies, to an increase in paranormal sightings, as well as proven interactions with the other side, the field known as the "unexplained" has captured the interest of believers and non-believers alike.

In this broad-ranging study, Art Bell and Brad Steiger -- two of the most respected experts in the field -- disclose their conclusions and theories about such subjects as:
-- End-of-the-world prophesies and prophets
-- Near-death and out-of-body experiences
-- Conspiracies and government cover-ups
-- The Roswell crash and other UFO sightings
-- Crop circles and other unexplained phenomena
-- Demon possession and poltergeists
-- and more
