So I time-checked this and my mother bought it for me when I was 11; I’m 25 now and found it in a downstairs bookshelf and was mind-boggled by how much of this info I still knew, or remembered using for history book reports and projects. Obviously now a lot of it is pretty dated, but wow did it fire up my interest when I was little! My sister called home from college a couple days ago to mention something she’d learned about gold figurines that look like planes or animals and I pulled out this book and showed her, “Like this?” and it was exactly what she was talking about! This definitely sparked my interest in unexplained phenomena.

Interesting book about the unexplained mysteries around the world. It is mostly a state the facts book with very little investigating. The copyright is 2006 so it is dated on a few of the stories, facts do to new findings have been changed the stories. I still recommend it to a younger group to spark the imagination.

This book has the distinction of not going overboard with any theory or thought. There are a lot of weird phenomena in this world and these are just few of the more interesting and better known ones. They missed the one about how people started to get radio shows from twenty or so years ago for an evening. Odd, but a one time event that has not repeated itself, nor is there any way of exploring what happened as there is no physical remains to work with.
They give some of the current thoughts on Stonehenge and the pyramids, and also give the various new age or superstitious notions that are running around. I liked that the book did not take any thing away from the weird thinking people have, only reported it.
