It's just that Fringe tackles things that have baffled science since time immemorial. And I can relate to these things because I have been reading about these since back in high school. Telekinesis, Spontaneous human combustion, time travel, abductions, extra dimensions... these boggle the mind.
Coming from the old Baguio City where apparitions and mystics were commonplace also cemented the belief that there is something out there.
When I picked up this book by John Pinkney from the library, I knew what I was in for. And it was very engaging read, providing details, photos and names where available, making the stories credible (though of course everything could not be logically explained and so making the stories credible is a feat by itself).
One story tells of a ghost that was caught on CCTV. I put YouTube to the test for this one, because they say you can get just about anything there. And sure enough, there's a footage of the Hampton Court Ghost in there.
There's a big section on alien abductions too. This is actually my first time to read about the triangle-shaped chips the aliens embed into their victims, with some of these too close to the brain to be safe for removal but are somehow triggering extrasensory "powers". It's the stuff Fringe is made of.
The section on curses are also quite a read. We all know of Tutankhamun and the fate that many of those involved with his discovery and study have met. Oetzi the Iceman is just as deadly, and just as mysterious.
And have you heard about the Superman curse?
The accounts in this book is certainly worth a read, even if you are a sceptic. Makes you think that there's something much more than what we see and hear everyday.
