Why do weird and wonderful supernatural encounters happen to some people—and not to everyone or to no one at all? What does this tell us about our world and ourselves?

In this enlightening book, Dr. Sharon Dirckx, an author and speaker with a PhD in brain imaging from the University of Cambridge, explores these intriguing questions.

One out of five people claim to have encountered a ghost. What are we to make of this? Our first response is often to assume there must be a natural cause: Perhaps the person was hallucinating, or has a brain imbalance or a psychological condition. But are these explanations enough for us to understand what happened?

Signs of the Unseen explores these questions of the supernatural and paranormal in depth, in two ways:

• through five eyewitness accounts of visions, near-death experiences (NDEs), dreams, healings, angels, and more, told by level-headed people in their own words—by reputable professionals not prone to emotionalism
• through scientific examination of attempts to explain these spiritual phenomena, grappling with the questions that we’ve all asked at some point

Do these experiences originate in our brains, or do they point to the existence of actual spiritual beings? Whether you’re spiritual, agnostic, a believer, or simply curious, some experiences and encounters are difficult to explain by “natural causes.” Could they be pointing to greater spiritual realities like the existence of God or the afterlife?

Take a closer look at these signs, guided by a Cambridge-trained scientist, and discover the true nature of the world we live in.
