When strange things happen to people, or when they experience bad luck, they may come to believe that they've been cursed. In this well-researched and well-referenced book, Dr Peter McCue looks at curses or alleged curses from an evidential and parapsychological perspective. He also examines what appear to be strange coincidences. He presents a wide array of cases, and asks how strange coincidences arise and how curses might work.

Dr McCue is a retired clinical psychologist with a longstanding interest in anomalous phenomena (apparitions, hauntings, UFO sightings, etc.). He has personally investigated many cases, and he has written numerous articles on paranormal and UFO-related matters. He is the author of three previous books covering these fields.
