Summary: This book is a scholarly curation of historical mysteries and bizarre events that science and history have failed to satisfactorily explain. Rather than sensationalizing the stories, Gould pulls extensively from original historical sources and documents to lay out the evidence neutrally. 

Key Chapters Include:

• • The Devil’s Hoof-marks: The mysterious footprints appearing overnight across Devon, England in 1855.
  • The Moving Coffins of Barbados: The infamous Chase Vault where heavy lead coffins inexplicably rearranged themselves inside a sealed tomb.
  • The Planet Vulcan: The historical 19th-century search for a hypothetical planet supposed to exist between Mercury and the Sun.
  • The Berbalangs of Cagayan Sulu: Historical accounts of alleged ghoul-like creatures.
