Seems to me that while I probably
COULD explain 5 to 15% of these
stories as misunderstandings and/or
bull-pucky, I like to read them through
the eyes of a child that still believes
in Santa and the tooth-fairy. Life'd BE
be better --- now --- if we could just be-
lieve what we WANT without NEEDING
to doubt all of the mysterious WONDERS
of life.
I believe what I want to, and I want to be-
lieve MOST of what I read and believed...
when
I
was a child!

I have read and re-read this book when I was a kid. I am much older now. When I was a young kid (about 11 yr.old)my grandfather bought this book, and he would read stories from this book and then we would sit around in campfire setting with my brothers, and we would discuss the multiple stories that are in this book. This was a special time this was spending time with my grandfather. It was also a very scary book, and I was`so glad my grandpa was there with us. This book is full of paranormal ghost, and poltergeist stories, alien/UFO sightings/encounters. A lot of these stories are old, but are some of the scariest stories I have read. I had this book in a mass market type soft cover, and the glued pages were falling out, so I recently purchased a hardcover book. So if you like a short story style book full of paranormal activity, alien encounters, poltergeist activity, and just generally the weirdest stories I heard as an 11 yr. old child then this book is for you. It is out of print so hardcover books are hard to get. My husband is reading the book now, and finds the stories to be scary/creepy; and stories are told in such a manner that lends to it being scary and are well told stories. I recently purchased this hardcover book purely, for nostalgic reasons. It is a great read though. Strange World was written and published in 1964  Frank Edwards Strange World

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusion: origin of the supernatural
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2009
I would like to describe what I believe accounts for the origin of many claims of supernatural, psychic, occult, or new age phenomena. In the early 1960s a story was circulated and published to the effect that a satellite had been recovered from earth orbit and was found to be steadily losing weight due to its exposure to outer space. The story made the rounds of the Fortean literature of the time and can be found today in Frank Edward's book STRANGE WORLD (item 80: Weight loss in space).
I believe that I was able to piece together the genesis of this tale and I think that it is probably typical of such literature. During the 1960s a number of the "Discoverer" series of satellites were recovered from orbit. Their satellites were launched on Thor-Agena rockets from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, were flown in polar orbits, and were being developed for reconnaissance purposes. In describing the flights the government quoted masses in orbit which sometimes included the spent final rocket stage (named "Agena"). Only a portion of the satellite was brought down from orbit and an even smaller package remained after retro rockets and reentry heat shield were removed. This descending list of masses appeared in popular press accounts of the Discoverer satellites, usually with no explanation of the seemingly selfcontradictory values.
To this day accounts of spaceflight often times incorrectly describe objects in earth orbit as having no weight. (Apparent weightlessness is described correctly in College Physics by Wilson, et al, 6th edition, page 244, Prentice-Hall 2007.) Scientifically naive readers of the accounts of the recovery of capsules from Discoverer satellites then jumped to the conclusion that the satellites had somehow become "infected" by this strange property of weightlessness acquired while in space.
I have examined a number of items from the pseudo-scientific literature and believe that this account may be a fairly typical example.
