    Unexplained: Real-Life Supernatural Stories for Uncertain Times

    About this audiobook

    In every corner of this earth there are secrets. They are hidden in the dark edge of the woods, nestled in the cold stars, and staring out from a stranger's eyes. And whether they be demonic possession or an unsolved murder, the unknown has always haunted our dreams.

    From the hit podcast Unexplained comes a volume perfectly crafted for the curious, the cynical, and the not-easily-frightened. Richard Maclean Smith is the expert in the unknown, and humbly offers up ten tales of real-life events that continue to evade explanation. With these chilling stories comes the missing key: a connection to our own beliefs in science, superstition, and perception.

    What can a case of demonic possession teach us about free will? What can a cursed box show us about the act of storytelling? What can a supposed instance of reincarnation tell us about developing a concept of the self?

    Perhaps some things are just better left unexplained . . .

      I love the Unexplained podcast. I want to love this audiobook. But the narrator is so off-putting that I turned it off after only a minute. Totally ruins the vibe.

      I love the podcast. The narrator for the audiobook is so incredibly off-putting that I couldn't listen for more than a minute. I truly hope it get redone, preferably with Richard narrating.
