The book tells about the troubles and surprises that sometimes await a person when confronted with certain objects or places. People aptly called such things “bad” and places “disastrous.” Is there any rational, scientific explanation for all this, or can thousands of incredible incidents be considered just an accident? Who are dowsers and what is a geopathogenic zone? Do crystals and paintings contain information about the past and how does this affect people’s destinies? These and other questions are discussed in the book, and some of them are answered quite convincingly.
