28 The Quest for Otto Rahn Part One: Crusade against the Grail (cover story)
Who was the mystery man who caused Himmler's team of crack SS archaeologists to seek the Holy Grail and other legendary relics? In the first of two articles, Richard Stanley relates the story of SS Obersturmfuhrer Otto Rahn.

36 Dreaming the Future?
Dreams have long been thought to predict the future, and many people believe they have experienced highly accurate premonitions while fast asleep. Nonsense, says Richard Wiseman - precognitive dreams can be easily explained by statistics and the science of sleep.

44 A Game of Tag
Claims of people being implanted - perhaps by extraterrestrials - with mysterious devices have circulated for years. This may not be mere paranoia and delusion, says David Hambling - the real culprits may be closer to home.

48 Media Mediums
Mikita Brottman follows the latest fads, fashions and psychic styles in metaphysical media and tells us who's hot and who's not amongst celebrity clairvoyants.

52 SLIders
Hilary Evans has been collecting accounts of streetlight interference for years, and concludes that, far from being mere folklore, people with the ability to turn off streetlamps as they pass are a genuine scientific mystery. We present a selection of 'SLIder' reports from around the world, taken from his new book.
