"These two veteran researchers of a wide variety of paranormal experiences once more produce an encyclopædic volume, this time thematically on anomalous experiences of other worlds and entities, from the expected aliens and fairies to demons, totem animals, angels, spirits, poltergeists, disembodied voices and the sense of divine presence. A good fortean read." Fortean Times
"This is a book that skillfully demonstrates the world we see around us does not amount to all that there is to see. There are domains and dimensions that are inhabited by supernatural intelligences that we do not fully understand, and forces and forms to be reckoned with. Real Encounters, Different Dimensions, and Otherworldly Beings opens those doors and unleashes those forces and forms upon us and then some!" Mysterious Universe .org
"Real Encounters covers a lot of ground. If it falls under the labels of UFOs, Weird History, the Supernatural, Spiritualism, Conspiracy, you'll find it here. It's a no holds barred look at the unexplainable with people who do a good job of explaining it. This is one of the rare books that has something to offer both the reader new to the topic as well as a life long follower. Definitely worth a read, and this may be the book everyone wants to borrow. You have been warned." HorrorTalk.com
