The encyclopedia has five sections.[1] The first volume is composed of alphabetical write-ups on the scientific view of pseudoscientific concepts such as the "Bermuda Triangle and dowsing, Shroud of Turin and Feng Shui, spiritualism and biorhythms, placebo effect and graphology, Alien abductions and UFOs, crop circles and astrology",[3] followed by a section of investigations and discussions. The second volume explores such subjects in more depth[4] with sections containing case studies, "for and against" essays, and historical documents.[2] This final section has been criticized for containing only five documents.[2]
