We live in a modern Dark Age. Faith in pseudoscience is rampant, and belief in the supernatural permeates society at every level. Critical thinking is key to understanding what is truly useful, and what merely distracts from progress and development. Skeptoid gives you the tools to sort the solid from the silly, and answer such questions as: -Did a fleet of alien spacecraft fly over Pheonix, Arizona in 1997? -What are the real health benefits of wheatgrass juice and organic or raw foods? -Did the US Navy really make a warship disappear in 1943. -What really happened inside the Amityville Horror house and England's Borley Rectory? -Do rocks actually move by themselves in Death Valley? -What happens to peope abducted by aliens? Author Brian Dunning hosts the Skeptoid podcast at http://skeptoid.com. In this book, he casts his skeptical eye on fifty paranormal, culutral, and supernatural beliefs that are at best fooish, and at worst, deadly.
