Fringe-ology: A Book that Serves as a Permission Slip for You to Tell Your Story

June 30, 2011 2:00 pm PT

Steve Volk, Author of Fringe-ology: How I Tried to Explain Away the Unexplainable - and Couldn't, on the stories so many of us hide - about ghosts, UFOs, psychic and spiritual experiences.


More than 70% of Americans believe in paranormal activity. But even with a family-ghost story lurking in his own background, seasoned journalist Steve Volk has been like most of those millions of Americans reticent to talk about his experience in polite company.



Volk decided to focus his gimlet-eyed tenacity on a new beat: the world of psychics, UFOs, and things that go bump in the night. Volk introduces us to all sorts of fringe-dwellers, many of them reluctant to admit to their paranormal experiences: a NASA astronaut-turned-mystic, a world-famous psychologist who taught us about dying and then decided death may not exist at all. It turns out that these fringe experiences strike at the core of what it means to be human.
