The Enigmas of History: Myths, Mysteries and Madness from Around the World

Mysteries have the power to delight and fascinate; they always have, and they always will. When one mystery is solved (often, but not always, to everyone’s satisfaction), another springs up to take its place. Some mysteries are earth-shattering in their implications, while others simply offer the mind a little intellectual exercise in the form of an intriguing puzzle to ponder while washing the dishes or walking the dog.

The Nightside of History is an entertaining and informative compendium of strange events and weird encounters with the unexplained, of historical mysteries and puzzles, and bewildering discoveries to unsettle and perplex the historian and general reader alike. Each self-contained chapter in the book covers a particular mystery, ranging across the globe and throughout history, from Atlantis to the Amazons, from the Ark of the Covenant to the enigma of the Black Madonnas, from the weird mystery of Spring-heeled Jack to visions of the Virgin Mary.
