"Tracks in the Psychic Wilderness: An Exploration of ESP, Remote Viewing, Precognitive Dreaming and Synchronicity" by Dale E. Graff
"Remote Viewing... Precognitive Dreaming... Synchronicity ... The United States Department of Defense using ESP to gather intelligence information... Sounds like science fiction? Actually it is the true story of Project STARGATE, the U.S. government's top secret program and the experiences of its former director. Tracks in the Psychic Wilderness is one man’s personal and professional journey into the realm of parapsychological phenomena.

"Fits, Trances, and Visions: Experiencing Religion and Explaining Experience from Wesley to James" by Ann Taves
"Fits, trances, visions, speaking in tongues, clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, possession. Believers have long viewed these and similar involuntary experiences as religious—as manifestations of God, the spirits, or the Christ within. Skeptics, on the other hand, have understood them as symptoms of physical disease, mental disorder, group dynamics, or other natural causes. In this sweeping work of religious and psychological history, Ann Taves explores the myriad ways in which believers and detractors interpreted these complex experiences in Anglo-American culture between the mid-eighteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
