"In two words: impossible!" said famed Hollywood producer Sam Goldwyn.
But Facts & Fallacies proves otherwise. It sifts through the implausible, the improbable, the unlikely, and the bizarre--and reveals the facts.
Designed to astonish, amaze, and amuse, to delight, mystify, and intrigue, this book offers eerie tales, indisputable truths, and documented evidence for (or against) the unusual, the strange, and the incredible--401 fascinating stories in all.
Escape to a world of strange events, slippery characters, odd customs, hard conclusions, and high fun.
Asbestos and alligators, blue bums and butterflies, coffins and credit cards, googols and ghosts, satellites and standing stones--they're all here for your reading pleasure and enjoyment.
You'll track down some very strange happenings, solve haunting mysteries, share astounding discoveries.
You'll distinguish fact from fancy, truth from fiction, miracle from myth--and get intriguing glimpses into the world of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
