Drawing on two decades of first-hand research, Big-If True separates fact from fiction using forensics, science, psychology, folklore, and more. Big-If True examines these and dozens more mysteries including Bigfoot, reincarnation, chupacabras, Icelandic elves, conspiracy theories, UFOs, miracles, the terrifying Goat-Man, crop circles, subliminal advertising, sea serpents, wandering trees, medical mysteries, and hypnotist thieves-plus a 1990 Elvis sighting. For mystery lovers and armchair investigators alike, this book offers a look behind the scenes at investigating oddities and curiosities, both ancient and modern. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter One LEGENDS 5</strong></p><p>A Skeptic's Guide to Ethical and Effective Curse Removal - Egging the</p><p>Equator - Detour: Elves Ahead - Mysteries of the Coral Castle - Is Elvis</p><p>Presley in Home Alone? - Searching to Noah Vale - The Bell Witch Mystery</p><p>- The Myth of the Walking Tree - Bailing in the Mummies - Might Fright</p><p>Cause White? - (and more)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter Two MONSTERS 51</strong></p><p>Cryptozoology and Global Warming - The Mystery of the Texas</p><p>Chupacabra - Texas Goat-Men and the Chupacabra - A Wakey Water</p><p>'Monster' - Globsters Ahoy! - Investigating Mothman's Red Eyeshine</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter Three GHOSTS 83</strong></p><p>Do Einstein's Laws Endorse Ghosts? - 'M' is for Mysterious Marks -</p><p>Have I Ever Seen a Ghost? - Soul Scales - The Cockington Church Ghost</p><p>Photo - Can Electromagnetic Fields Create Ghosts? - Infrared Cameras</p><p>and Ghost Hunting - A Closer Look at Orbs - The Sweet Spirit Sounds</p><p>of Rosemary Brown - (and more)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter Four MYSTERIOUS POWERS AND PLACES 121</strong></p><p>A Time to Die? - Crop Circle Origins - The GIGO Problem: Crop Circle</p><p>Research Edition - Channeling Ancient African Wisdom-Or Not - Mystery</p><p>of the Paulding Light - Dowsing: Dubious and Discredited - Fatima</p><p>Miracle Claims All Wet - Uri Geller Revisited - Did Psychic Visions</p><p>Locate Missing California Boy? - Beware Mesmer Thieves! - Secrets of</p><p>Spectacularly Skewered Skin</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter Five UFOs 165</strong></p><p>The Phantom Menace of UFO Revelation - The Mysterious Phoenix</p><p>Lights - The Mysterious, Invisible 'Rods'</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter Six HEALTH AND MEDICINE 175</strong></p><p>Bodytalk: Boon or Bogus? - Exercising the Brain Gym - Kinoki Foot Pads</p><p>- Diving HeadOn Into Pseudoscience - Subliminal Advertising, Trumpian</p><p>and Otherwise - Freaky Feldenkrais - Measuring Near-Death Experience</p><p>- A 100C Grain of Truth to Homeopathy? - Battle Over the BMI - The</p><p>Mysterious Morgellons Malady - Childbirth-Natural or 'Unnatural'? -</p><p>Vegetable Oil or Snake Oil?: The Pseudoscience of "Oil Pulling" - The</p><p>Pseudoscience of Personalysis - Left Brain or Right Brain? - (and more)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter Seven CONSPIRACIES 229</strong></p><p>Sandy Hook School Shooting: The Adam Lanza Death Certificate Conspiracy</p><p>- Curious Contrails: Death From the Sky? - The Truth About the 9/11</p><p>Truthers - Is America a Sheeple Factory?</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapter Eight SKEPTICISM 243</strong></p><p>Legitimizing Woo - Just Asking Questions - Caught Between the Possible</p><p>and the Paranormal - Dealing With Believers in Skeptical Investigation -</p><p>Anomaly Hunting - Mystery Solved-According to Whom? - Paranormal</p><p>Qualifications</p>
