Book review. Supernatural

I am currently reading the non-fiction book "Strange Powers of the Mind" by Warren Smith. Strange Powers of the Mind deals with people that have the power to predict the future and similar abilities. It is up to the reader to choose whether or not to believe in such things. I try to keep an open mind. One of the more interesting stories in the book is about a type of mass hysteria that occurred in the town of Mattoon, Illinois during World War Two. Several women reported to the police that they had been attacked with poison gas by an unknown stranger. It turned out that there were no attacks at all, but it was not a deliberate hoax. All of the women that reported being "gassed" sincerely believed that they had been attacked. For those that like stories of the unusual try "Strange Powers of the Mind" by Warren Smith.
