The Skeptic's Dictionary
The Skeptic's Dictionary is a website and a book that has entries on pseudoscientific, occult, paranormal and other junk beliefs in an encyclopedic order. Edited by former professor, atheist[1] and skeptic Robert Todd Carroll (1945–2016),[2] the site was launched in 1994 and now boasts more than 850 entries "from acupuncture to zombies" (the actual list starts with 2012 doomsday theories and includes entries on Abraham-Hicks and abracadabra which come before acupuncture alphabetically).[3]

“”Whether it's the latest shark cartilage scam, or some new 'repressed memory' idiocy that besets you, I suggest you carry a copy of this dictionary at all times, or at least have it within reach as first aid for psychic attacks. We need all the help we can get. |
The website is popular and is an antidote to the vast amount of paranormal, pseudoscientific, and other dubious material and quackery available online and offline.
