Have you ever had your car keys or television remote control inexplicably vanish from under your nose, only to reappear months later in another part of the house for no evident reason?

“"The author analyses nearly four hundred cases of disappearing object phenomenon acquired through his own research and through web-based case studies. The individual cases themselves are captivating to read; they ignite the imagination and, but for the most ardent sceptic, entice one to attribute mystery and meaning to the phenomenon." -Vladimir Dubaj, Australian Journal of Parapsychology”
