I Do Not Belong to the Human World

Tina Morris has persistent visions of her brother Randy, a soldier presumed killed in action in Vietnam. She receives a telepathic message from Randy in Chinese by "automatic writing," a psychic phenomenon in which one receives thought impulses and transcribes them while in a trance-like state. Tina seeks the help of Dr. Rhodes, who believes that Randy may still be alive, and seeking escape from a P.O.W. camp. Unfortunately, somebody close to Randy wants to keep his location a secret, and will use any means, including arson and murder, to hide the truth from Dr. Rhodes.

The Heart That Wouldn't Stay Buried

At a routine lecture, Dr. Rhodes is presented with a scalpel which introduces him to a complex, psychic mystery. A dying neurosurgeon believes that his daughter-in-law, Jordana, is killing him with a psychic "tumor" just like she attacked his son Joseph.

A prominent politician, Paul Crowley, has persistent waking visions in which he sees himself and a beautiful Far Eastern woman drowning in a rushing river.
