Hilary Evans was a writer on anomalous topics; he had authored books on UFOs, ghosts & apparitions, and many other subjects. His most recent publication, co-authored with Robert Bartholomew, is Outbreak: An Encyclopedia of Extraordinary Social Behavior . He was once a policeman in Palestine and a private tutor in Turkey, and thoroughly enjoyed his early career in advertising. Twice a Council Member of the Society for Psychical Research, he helped to found ASSAP (Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena), which has pioneered research into the SLI phenomenon and to which all proceeds of this book will go to fund further research. Aside from his writing, he helped his wife found the Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading historical picture archive. His favorite occupation was browsing in antiquarian bookstores. Even his bathroom was lined with books. See less
