Despite the best efforts of theologians, philosophers, and scientists to delineate consensus reality, the universe is as mysterious today as it ever was. Humankind might think it knows what is going on, but tantalizing glimpses of nonordinary reality occasionally pierce the veil of our perceptions, illustrating the limits of human knowledge and understanding and hinting at an underlying order, if not purpose, to the apparent randomness of creation. In Book of Curiosities, Christopher Dow recounts his personal encounters with a wide range of paranormal occurrences and unusual beings, including ghosts, shadow people, vampires, reincarnation, channeling, oddities, superstitions that proved true, and more. These experiences have challenged him to think more inclusively about the nature of reality-perhaps they will challenge you, as well.
