From individuals and their paranormal or imagined experiences, to the thousands of groups organized around encounters with unearthly entities and realms, many believe it is possible to interact with extraterrestrials, angels, fairyfolk, other-dimensional intelligences, hollow-earth inhabitants, and a whole range of other fantastic beings. They also believe that these beings play a large, hidden role in both humanity's history and its future. And they also believe that we can travel to these alternative realities. This volume examines who these entities are believed to be, how their supposed presence became known, and what their roles have been in the lives of individuals and groups. Other entries address the geography of otherworldly realms and recount the particular histories of human interaction with them.
