Description

In Strange Powers of Prophecy, Brad Steiger collects purportedly true accounts of individuals said to possess the unsettling ability to foresee future events. Its stories include strange visions, supernatural warnings, predictions of catastrophe, and people whose extraordinary abilities became either a gift or a curse.

Published in 1967, this vintage Popular Library paperback captures the dramatic presentation and fascination with psychic phenomena that characterized mid-century paranormal publishing. Its illustrated cover highlights several of the unusual cases discussed inside, including Bertha Strydom’s vision, a child reportedly born with a blood-red hand, a supernatural clue to a gangland murder, and a machine said to predict catastrophe.

Why We Love This Book
