They Flew: A History of the Impossible

This book delves into the history of impossible events such as levitation and bilocation, focusing on the early modern period.

It explores cases involving saints, frauds, demoniacs, and witches, and how these phenomena were perceived and interpreted by different groups, including Catholics and Protestants.

The author, Carlos Eire, structures the book around questioning these claims and their implications on the understanding of the supernatural and the miraculous during that era.
