Are paranormal events real, or are they only a figment of our imagination? Ted Holiday addresses this issue with some startling revelations. In "The Goblin Universe" is found the world of the mind - the greater universe. This is the place of psychic phenomena, prophecies, ghosts, poltergeists, UFOs, the Men in Black, dragons, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster. This amazing world is explored through Ted Holiday's personal experiences and his search for a unified theory of the paranormal. As Colin Wilson points out in the introduction, we must use our intuition, as Holiday did, in order to "see" into the goblin universe - the realm of unexplained illusions. "The Goblin Universe" examines a wide range of fascination "occult" phenomena, and explores the technologies we may use to expand our native psi abilities. In what sense is this a "real" world? Ted Holiday spent the greater part of his life investigating such things, and gained valuable first-hand experience of natural phenomena, which enabled him to develop groundbreaking ideas about what they really are. Throughout history, mankind has been confronted by things that just do not fit with conventional notions of reality, yet scientists have completely failed to come to grips with the mass of evidence that has emerged. Here, at last, is a reasoned argument that offers a new way of thinking about phenomena - the foundations of a new science.
