Varieties of Anomalous Experience: Examining the Scientific Evidence is a book edited by Etzel Cardeña, Steven Jay Lynn and Stanley Krippner, published by the American Psychological Association in 2000.[1]

Parapsychology has often been ignored or ridiculed by mainstream psychology. This book explores “anomalous experiences” defined as “strange, extraordinary, and unexplained experiences and encounters with the unknown” that “hold great significance for those who have them.” These experiences include near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, hallucinations, lucid dreams, mysticism, psi events, and past lives.[2] The book has thirteen chapters written by twenty-one contributors.[3] It has a clear and readable style which makes it suitable for a general audience.[4]
