"In an extensive directory of entries, George classifies them under three headings. Those under "General Topics" include Skepticism, Magical Thinking, Delusion, Epilepsy, and Vision of Paul. Entries under "Varieties of Unusual (Supranormal) Experience" include Astral Projection, Doppelganger, Channeling, False Memory, UFO Abduction Experience, and Ghost Light. Entries under "Deliberate Inducement of Unusual Experiences" include Flagellation, Vision Quest, Peyote, Koan, and Glossolalia. Among these latter entries are about 100 associated with Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Christian, Judaic, and esoteric traditions.

Concluding the book are tables and lists of studies correlating supranormal beliefs and anomalous phenomena, a 20-page bibliography, and an index. "
