Solid books about the supernatural that are written as if "non-fiction"?

Anyone? I guess I didn't mean supernatural in a sense like mothman, ufo and ghost sitings, etc. but more so Occult and Pagan literature.

Im working on writing historical/non-fiction horror with supernatural elements

Its surprisingly difficult desu
My basis is events like euro exploration of the new world, but certain elements of native folklore are real but they actually arent real, and are simply an elaborate manifestation of the explorers conscience after the maddening isolation, alienness of the world, constant danger, and guilt at the crimes they commit. A group psychosis of sorts. I never explicity state which side is real of course,
just give probably evidence for both

COMMUNION of course
The Black Arts by Cavendish is a nice kind of 'encyclopedia' of sorts. He doesn't pass judgement on whether any of it is real, just how specific occultists did different rituals, the histories they drew from.

Wonders of the Invisible World by Cotton Mather

Thanks guys. I actually wasn't aware of either Communion or "The Black Arts." I was surprised to find a couple images on the occult in the sticky. I already had Foucault's Pendulum, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, and The Gnostic Gospels.

Communion is a trippy book. It formed the basis for 90s UFO mythology, Strieber being an important figure in the 'movement' if you can call it that. It heavily inspired the pop culture version of UFOs, the X-Files took a lot from it.

There is also a great film version of Communion starring Christopher Walken.as Strieber Totally strange movie, I highly recommend it. Pic related, towards the end Walken and his wife are in an art museum (?) and rant about aliens while standing in front of Pollock and Katz paintings.

Could only find this in PDF format atm. If I like it, I'll pick up a used copy sometime. I found a couple other books of the same title and one seemed to be influenced by Mather's work but it was a collection of short stories

Will definitely check out. I'm assuming its "Communion: A True Story"?
