The Mystery of Fortune-Telling
Do your readers want to know about your future? Do they think someone can predict what will happen before it actually does? Since ancient times, people have gone to fortune-tellers, shamans, and seers to find out about their futures. People have tried tea leaves, tarot cards, crystal balls, and many other methods to predict the future, but do any of these actually work? Authors Carl R. Green and William R. Sanford investigate the mysterious art of fortune-telling and the paranormal and leave it up to the reader to decide if it is real or fantasy.

New ed. (1993). Investigating the Unknown series. With brief nods to science and skepticism, these updated editions (with slightly different titles) investigate paranormal abilities with a largely uncritical eye. Recorded experiences are scattered throughout the chapters to pique readers' interest. Most titles include suggestions for experiments. Archival photographs and reproductions along with stylistically inconsistent cartoons accompany the slim texts, which may appeal to reluctant readers. Reading list, websites.
