We begin by examining the beliefs of the Hopi people, where we realise that the warnings given to them by the Ant People sound very like the messages given to contactees in the latter part of the 20th century.

In the early 1970s Uri Geller was taking the United States by storm demonstrating his psychic abilities. But one man, the magician James Randi, believed Geller's powers were not paranormal.
