Patrick Harpur

Patrick Harpur is n English writer. He lives in Dorset, United Kingdom. He is known for the work "Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld" which deals with the paranormal in a similar way that Jacques Vallee, Allen Hynek and John Keel have done in the past.

Theories

In his book, "Daimonic Reality", Harpur argues that the human psyche extends beyond the confines of the physical human body, and that it may in fact be a part of our reality. He also notes that during most of human history, civilization have had another, "shadow reality" of folklore, except the current society which is strongly attached to the material.
