People come and go all the time–it’s a matter of daily life. But what about when people vanish and appear, seemingly out of thin air?

For centuries, there have been instances of people disappearing in front of reliable witnesses and appearing in a completely different location in front of others. Some were thought to be witches; others were suspected of being outcasts transported from a different time.

You will be fascinated by these carefully researched and documented cases, from classic disappearances like that of James Burne Worson, an English shoemaker who vanished while running down a road in front of three witnesses, to modern cases of teleportation and bilocation (being in two places at one time).

Specific occurrences of animal entrances and exits, the slipping away of Peter Williamson to another dimension, Benjamin Bathurst’s disappearing trousers, vanishing ships and aircraft, and more, are used as examples of these incredible phenomena.

Tales of supernatural vanishings are as entertaining as a Mystery novel, but will send a chill down your spine when you reaise it could happen to you.
