How many times have you heard somebody you know say: "I knew you were going to say that" or "I knew that was going to happen" or "I'm sure this has happened before"? How often have you read an unusual story in the paper and wondered if there was more to the event than you're being told? These are only two of the questions that have fuelled parapsychologist Dr Iain Ropner's studies over the past 20 years. Dr Iain Ropner's Casebook of Strange Events and Unusual Phenomena is the first instalment of six "case studies" - strange events that have occurred that cannot be readily explained away, such as Jackie McLean's suspicions in Messages from Sileby, or the perplexing phenomena that consumes the lives of a group of young boys in The Devil and the White Horse.
