 D.
Scott Rogo
(1950-1990) was one of the most widely respected writer-journalists
covering the field of parapsychology, as well as an active scientific
investigator. Educated at the University of Cincinnati and San Fernando
Valley State College, Rogo held a unique position in parapsychology and
made many contributions to the field that deserve recognition. He
served as a visiting researcher at the Psychical Research Foundation,
then in Durham, North Carolina, and at the Division of Parapsychology
and Psychophysics of the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New
York. He published papers on ESP in refereed
parapsychological journals and was active in field investigations of
hauntings and poltergeists. Rogo was also a leading authority on the
history of psychical research; the breadth of his historical knowledge
of the field was unsurpassed. Over the course of more than two-dozen
published books, Rogo sought to broaden the range of topics worthy of
paranormal research.

| Breaking
through the inhibitions of the field of parapsychology,
D. Scott Rogo explores the possibility and examines the evidence that
we are actually populating our universe with psychic creations-beings,
objects, and other phenomena--that have taken on a physical reality and
are now haunting our planet.
“At first glance one
could dismiss
this book as ingenuous, but in fact it is both well-considered and
brave. It is a rational discussion of phenomena which, if true, would
be considered parapsychological, but which even parapsychologists tend
to reject out of hand, even as their critics dismiss phenomena
parapsychologists consider legitimate. Rogo treats such taboo topics as
teleportation, religious miracles (weeping and bleeding statues,
materializations, mysterious lights and apparitions associated with
religious figures), psychic phenomena associated with UFOs, the reality
of evil, and types of "Forteana" likely to have a psi explanation.”

The
world of psychic
research is a world of vast discovery and puzzles
on the one hand, and deceit, con artistry, and self-delusion on the
other. It is a schizoid world that can affect anyone who touches its
Janus-like face. This book looks at both the genuine and the
fraudulent, as well as the often incredible controversies which
underlie the field of parapsychology. It is a very personal,
behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when researching psychic
phenomena.
In Search of the Unknown
“is crammed with a rich and entertaining variety of
experiences that range from [Rogo's] experiences in a haunted house to
first-hand research into the out-of-the-body experience. The most
attractive features of the book are its freshness, uninhibited first
person narratives, and an approach to psychic phenomenon that mixes
curiosity and skepticism in proper proportion.”

 | A glowing cross in the
window of a church in Florida. A bleeding statue
of Christ in Philadelphia. A young boy cured of his blindness at
Lourdes. The stigmata of Padre Pio. The image on the Shroud of
Turin.
Parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo examines a variety of miracles, great
and small, in Miracles: A Parascientific Inquiry into
Wondrous Phenomena. The phenomena can be Miraculous Talents
(levitation, stigmata, bilocation), Miraculous Events (divine images,
miraculous hailstones, bleeding statues and weeping madonnas), or
Miraculous Interventions (Marian apparitions, miraculous healings).
Rogo attempts to present the scientific rather than religious case for
the miraculous, and in the process comes to a fresh and surprising
interpretation about the nature of miracles.
“Miracles is a fascinating account of the Christian legacy of
wondrous phenomena. The book is unique in that its author attempts a
scientific evaluation of these accounts and of the world view of their
proponents.”

In
this thorough and balanced account, researcher D. Scott Rogo offers
a critical and scientific examination of reincarnation. He considers
the various forms of past-life recall (dreams, waking visions,
déjà vu), the most impressive case studies, and
the history of research into reincarnation. He then concludes the book
with an examination of explanatory models that can account for the
phenomenon. Rogo concludes that some people can indeed tap into the
memories of other people, cultures, and places long removed in time,
but proposes that the evidence might be pointing to something more
complex than our traditional views of reincarnation.
“The Search for Yesterday is probably the
single best book critiquing the research on reincarnation.”

 | D.
Scott Rogo's A Casebook of Otherworldly Music is a
unique examination of an often-neglected subject - psychic music. The
book was originally titled: NAD: A Study of Some
Unusual “Other World” Experiences. What
is NAD? It's a Sanskrit term signifying transcendental, astral,
psychic, or paranormal music - music heard from no apparent source.
“One is continually impressed not only by Rogo's familiarity
with this range of literature but even more by his keenly critical
appraisal of the sources involved…One can applaud this
pioneering effort…Those who are open-minded enough to read
Rogo without pre-supposition, however, will find this volume filled
with intriguing case material and much provocative theoretical
material.” - Parapsychology Review
“A book on this subject has been overdue for some time, so
the present well-documented volume is most welcome. It can readily be
seen what a thorough treatment this fascinating subject has received at
the hand of Mr. Scott Rogo.”

of the
Society for Psychical Research |

This second
volume
of D.
Scott Rogo's groundbreaking study of
paranormal music experiences examines their relation to out of body
experiences, survival after death, and other psychic phenomena. A
Psychic Study of the Music of the Spheres also tackles the
question of auditory hallucinations head on, and provides a fascinating
theoretical discussion of how paranormal music is
“heard.” Finally, by applying the technique of
pattern analysis to 58 cases of paranormal music experiences, Rogo is
able to draw meaningful conclusions about the reality -- and source --
of this “otherworldly” music.
“I wish to state that I believe this book represents a very
significant and pioneering study of a little-known psychical phenomenon
of great importance.” - Raymond Bayless |

[Read
Excerpt] | There is no mystery greater
than
that posed by the poltergeist. The “noisy ghosts”
of legend and folklore represent some of the most complex phenomena
known to-but generally ignored by-science. Psychological research
indicates that poltergeists focus on unhappy families who tend to
repress and sublimate massive amounts of inner aggression and anger.
This anger tends to build within the mind of one of the family members
until it explodes outward in the form of the poltergeist. But is that
the whole answer?
On the Track of the
Poltergeist
is
D. Scott Rogo's autobiographical account of his search to witness and
document these rare phenomena. Backed by this experience and research,
he is able to present a critical reevaluation of what we think we know
about the poltergeist. Rogo also explains how to respond when
confronted with a poltergeist outbreak and how to carry out field
investigations of the phenomenon. |

Parapsychologists
have uncovered irrefutable evidence that psychic abilities -- including
telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis -
exist. But they are not “gifts” in any sense of the
word. They are potentials. And as potentials, they are something we all
inherently possess and can develop. The only problem is: how can we tap
and use these abilities reliably?
In Our Psychic Potentials, D. Scott Rogo presents
some very specific strategies -- some known about for
hundreds
of years, others recently discovered - for accessing our psychic
potentials. These psychic development techniques involve dreaming,
mental imagery, relaxation, suggestion, and feedback. Called
“open minded,” “frank,” and
“refreshing” by readers, this step-by-step guide to
self-testing and psychic training also examines the scientific evidence
that our psychic abilities can indeed be developed and used on demand. |
