Description

Are paranormal events real, or are they only a figment of our imagination? Ted Holiday addresses this issue with some startling revelations. In "The Goblin Universe" is found the world of the mind - the greater universe. This is the place of psychic phenomena, prophecies, ghosts, poltergeists, UFOs, the Men in Black, dragons, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster. This amazing world is explored through Ted Holiday's personal experiences and his search for a unified theory of the paranormal. As Colin Wilson points out in the introduction, we must use our intuition, as Holiday did, in order to "see" into the goblin universe - the realm of unexplained illusions. "The Goblin Universe" examines a wide range of fascination "occult" phenomena, and explores the technologies we may use to expand our native psi abilities. In what sense is this a "real" world?

much of Holiday's hypothesis has since been disproven. It stands more as a theological or philosophical examination of reality by way of The Unexplained, and Holiday did not intend for it to be published. He ties UFOs to cryptozoological sightings, and dismisses them all as the work of The Devil -- meanwhile advocating for the belief of one or more higher intelligences directly interfering in human lives, and perhaps responsible for all Creation.

The Goblin Universe contains countless case studies, and Holiday's refutation of Darwinism is a must-read, no matter your beliefs. A lot of what Holiday discusses holds up well today, and should be of interest to everyone who enjoys the paranormal.
