Psychic Animals: A Fascinating Investigation of Paranormal Behavior

iUniverse, 2000. Paperback. Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition, some creasing to cover. We have this book in stock now. 2000 iUniverse edition. Telepathy, precognition, and reports of ghostly apparitions fill this book about animals that will appeal to readers hungry for more books on the paranormal. The rapport that exists between animals and humans in the form of myth, friendship, and religion is explored through the centuries from Aristotle to Brazilian fishermen in 1985. The volume is chock-full of fascinating accounts of how other species have rescued or helped humans in distress. Instances of intelligence and altruism as well as foreknowledge by animals of impending doom are interspersed with imagination-stretching tales such as the one of a horse who could speak short but intelligible sentences. While many experiments are alluded to, and an extensive bibliography is provided, the book lacks strong connections between the anecdote and the source from which it originated. Stories related from past centuries, news articles from the 1920s, or tales from the Middle Ages can leave readers grasping for sources. However, casual readers will be fascinated by the abundant claims and tales of animal intelligence, psyche, and ESP. - . Excess postage may be required for books over 1 kg in weight outside the EU.
