N Equals 1: Single Case Studies in Anomalistics, edited by Gerhard Mayer - Parapsychology

Parapsychologist Carlos Alvarado interviews Gerhard Mayer, a Research Associate at the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health in Freiburg/Germany, about a book he has edited on single case studies of various types of unexplained phenomena, such as crop circles, hauntings, poltergeists, recurrent apparitions of the living, and UFOs. Says Mayer: "Single case studies have a long tradition in the field of parapsychology and anomalistics research. Although case studies do not usually provide hard evidence for the existence of paranormal effects, they demonstrate the dynamics of occurrence of such extraordinary phenomena and experiences in the living world." Another book worthy of attention by forteans is Files of the unexplained: The hidden history and forgotten photographs from the world of the unknown, by Clas Svahn, which is here reviewed by Nemo Mörck of the SPR in the UK. The generously illustrated book by Svahn, a journalist who works for one of Sweden's largest newspapers, "is primary meant to make readers aware of some of the contents in the collections housed at AFU [the Archives For the Unexplained in Sweden] and it is bound to spark curiosity."
