Uncertain Places: Essays on Occult and Outsider Experiences By Mitch Horowitz

Mitch Horowitz gathers essays on occult and outsider experiences, exploring secret societies, Gnosticism, Hermeticism and the relationship between esoteric ideas and modern culture. Figures such as Neville Goddard, Manly P. Hall and David Lynch appear in the discussion.

Topics include out-of-body experience, Ouija boards, mental metaphysics and the author’s disagreements with prominent skeptics. The collection presents an engaged occultist’s arguments and interpretations, not a neutral verdict that paranormal claims are scientifically settled. It invites comparison and critical thought across unfamiliar currents of belief.
