An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural is a 1995 book by James Randi and Arthur C. Clarke. It serves as a reference for various pseudoscience and paranormal subjects.[1] Dr. Renato M.E. Sabbatini has listed it as "essential reading" on skepticism.[2]
In 2006 Randi made the work available for free online.[3]
In the foreword Arthur C. Clarke wrote, "not only informative but highly entertaining," and "I regard Randi as a national treasure, and perhaps one of the remaining antidotes that may prevent the rotting of the American mind."[4]
