Extremely unsettling, this part especially: “the encounters are so weird, lack reason or logic, and are by-and-large unsuccessful.”
It reminds us of the work of John Keel and his feelings that a supernatural phenomenon exists only to baffle, confuse, and confound the humans interacting with it.
I'm a social worker (and longtime Getting Spooked fan! currently working my way thru all the stacks), just now introduced to the concept of PSW's from this review. This was not an issue discussed in my BA or master's social work programs, and to my knowledge isn't a term that comes up on licensing exams, at least when/where I was taking them. It's a haunting enough topic worsened for me imagining that most professional social workers likely are oblivious to this concept. I can't wait to read this book, & will spread the word
