| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | Investigative writer Joe Nickell and forensic analyst John F. Fischer probe ten tantalizing mysteries that, for decades, have defied rational analysis and convinced many people that supernatural events really do happen. Using their skills and experience in historic document examination and forensic research, Nickell and Fischer carefully scrutinize the evidence for a variety of strange historical, paranormal, and forensic phenomena. - Is a historic Kentucky home really haunted by the "gray lady's ghost"? - Did Lee Harvey Oswald assassinate J.F.K., or was the killer a Soviet look-alike? - Has the U.S. government concealed evidence of UFO visitations to Earth? - Is a miracle taking place in a Naples cathedral where the congealed blood of a martyred saint periodically liquefies? Taking neither a credulous nor close-minded approach, the authors search for answers to these questions and other mysterious conundrums. Their deductions and proposed solutions (which make use of blood chemistry, forensic analysis, document examination, and a knowledge of stage magic) are truly worthy of Sherlock Holmes and will keep readers turning the pages to find out the rest of the story. |
