  There are two types of paranormal case occurring in the 20th century: first, cases that are inextricably intertwined with the century's technological advances, from people who can switch on and off street-lighting at will to human interference with cars, radios and computer terminals; the second category groups occurrences which echo ancient cases with a curiously modern twist. Take, for example, the Incubus and Succubus - centuries-old entities that impregnate women with non-human seed - and compare them with films such as The Omen or Rosemary's Baby . Classic cases of ghost and poltergeist sightings, clairvoyance and telekinesis are reported to occur in the 1990s as frequently and spookily as they ever did - this book has the advantage that its witnesses are still alive to tell the tale.
