Excerpt from Chapter 1 of The Haunted Universe by D. Scott Rogo

Sometimes in our fight to be respectable we do become dull. Enmeshed in statistics, experimental designs, control groups and variables, psychic phenomena often lose much of their wonderland--excuse the term--aura. We fail to see the natural implications of what we are studying. If ESP and mind-over-matter do exist, what lies beyond, out there in our barely understood universe or within the recesses of our own minds? Back in Victorian England psychic investigations were labeled as attempts to “naturalize the supernatural,” and it was at that time that psychic research became a rather drab affair. To date, parapsychologists have only been concerned with the study of two groups of phenomena: extrasensory perception and psychokinesis.

This is a very limited outlook, for there are mysteries far beyond the “psychic” which we have not even begun to examine: the perpetually elusive UFO and the wild psychic manifestations recorded during their activity; supernatural but well-evidenced aerial lights and apparitions which have appeared during religious revivals; new dimensions of space contacted by those experiencing out-of-the-body travel; and “weeping” pictures and statues which have been recorded for centuries and which have baffled scientists and theologians alike. Whole new universes open up through the dimensions of psychic and preternatural phenomen

Are these phenomena paranormal or delusional? I think these weird manifestations are very real and have an intimate bearing on the nature of ESP and PK in general...

In this book I'm going to break through the inhibitions we work under in parapsychology. I'm not going to be reserved or worry about respectability in what I'm going to say or report. For years I have been interested in much more than just ESP and PK. I've seen a lot of that over the years. I've watched psychics work their wonders in the lab; after a six-year search I've had the good fortune to observe a rampaging poltergeist; I've seen animals react to unseen out-of-body visitors. But this is only the beginning of what lies out there in the strange Universe; mysteries are just waiting to be tracked down. And I'm going to report some of those mysteries now!
