The Haunted Universe
✍️ Rogo, D ScottA study proposing that human psychic creations physically haunt our universe.
D. Scott Rogo explores the boundary where human consciousness generates physical phenomena. By evaluating ufological sightings, creature reports in the United States, and religious Marian apparitions, the author argues that many unexplained occurrences stem from psi phenomena rather than external visitors. The text breaks away from traditional parapsychology by examining how subjective mental states manifest as tangible objects and entities on Earth.
Published by Anomalist Books, this text sits at the intersection of late twentieth-century parapsychology, ufology, and Fortean research. It re-evaluates famous mid-century and modern anomalies, such as the Zeitoun apparitions and the Pascagoula incident, through the lens of psychic generation.
Praise for this book
“A wide-ranging look at the 'Psychic' component of a variety of Fortean and ufological events. A great deal of valuable material is presented here, including an analysis of lesser known aspects of the Pascagoula incident, a long look at the BVM apparitions at Zeitoun, more on US creature reports, and a most interesting chapter exploring the subjective origins of the UFO mystery. In all, a fascinating and readable account of interesting events.”
“likely to have a psi explanation.”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Rogo’s theory is bold, yet the execution may alienate skeptics expecting hard empirical data. This book is not for those who demand strict materialist proof or dismiss psychic constructs entirely. It suits open-minded readers willing to suspend disbelief regarding consciousness as a creative force. However, if you prefer straightforward ghost stories without theoretical underpinnings, this might feel too abstract. The argument that we populate our world with subconscious creations is intriguing but requires an acceptance of non-standard parapsychological views. It is best for those already inclined toward spiritualist thought rather than newcomers seeking objective evidence.

Reality of Unexplained Phenomena
This book delves into how seemingly disparate anomalies like UFOs, ghostly encounters, and other supernatural occurrences might share a common origin. Rogo argues they are not just subjective experiences but gain an objective, physical existence through psychic creation, making them undeniably real.
