Paranormal & The Occult: The Interviews
The House of Mystery Radioshow has been on the air for ten years, broadcasting in over a dozen cities in the U.S. It started as a way to interview guests knowledgeable in many of the world's mysteries involving crime, science, religion, history, paranormal, conspiracies, etc. The House of Mystery Interview series is a curated collection of interviews from the show.
Each volume focuses on one of the mysteries, providing the background and reproducing the main points discussed in the interviews. There will be no committed answer at the end, as the Interviews series does not attempt to solve the case. Instead, it provides the most compelling aspects of each theory held by different experts.
This series is an excellent reference for researchers and a good overview for those unfamiliar with the case. Online links to the actual interviews are included.
This book, Volume 6, covers the field of The Paranormal and The Occult. During the first ten years of the show, the paranormal field was very popular in society, including several television series covering ghost hunting, haunted houses, mediums communicating with the dead, witchcraft, and even Satanism. Spirituality was also discussed since religion is often given the power to either protect or attack one doing the investigation.
The interviews selected for this book were chosen for the guest's believability and knowledge in their area of expertise. The book is divided into several sections covering mediums, parapsychology, occult influences such as the Church of Satan and Witches, and tools used in the field like Ouija boards, Tarot cards, Astrology, and Numerology.
