Looking for Christmas gifts with a decidedly paranormal twist? Here are some suggestions for friends and family - or perhaps a treat for yourself!

Books
The Werewolf Book – Author Brad Steiger has put together a comprehensive encyclopedia of werewolves and other shape-shifting beings. Detailed information is provided about these creatures in the myths and legends of various cultures as well as books, television, and movies. Then there’s the real-life connection in children who have been raised by wolves, the connection with certain serial killers, and a possible connection with Sasquatch.

Paranormal Investigator’s Handbook – Does someone on your Christmas list fantasize about becoming a real-life Fox Mulder or Dana Scully? Maybe this book will help. This book, edited by Valerie Hope, gathers information from paranormal of experts who provide the state-of-the-art techniques for investigating cases, interviewing witnesses, researching background information, and recognizing a hoax. The 144-page volume provides real-life studies and actual photos, along with helpful checklists, diagrams, and instructions for leading investigations.

Psychic: True Paranormal Experiences – Famed ghost hunter Hans Holzer explores incredible, true experiences within the psychic dimension. In 560 pages, Holzer looks at phenomena such as ESP, ghosts, mediums, time travel, psychic dreams, prophesies, out-of-body experiences, famous haunted houses, and more.
