Interesting book if you are into the supernatural. A good introduction if you want to research the paranormal.

Unfortunately will not make idiots any wiser
8 Aug 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have to say I was surprised at all the factual errors in this book. I know there are no "facts" in paranormal investigations, but this book gets actual "facts" wrong when discussing people and places. Queen Elizabeth I is not buried at Windsor Castle; she's entombed at Westminster Abbey. This is just one small example of MANY inaccuracies found in this book.

For once a book that lives up to its name
6 Mar 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was very disappointed with this book. I am a ghosthunter by profession and bought this book out of curiosity. It is full of misconceptions anf false information. For anyone looking for serious information on the spirits and ghosts around us, I would not recommend this book. For those looking for some fun reading around the campfire this book is better suited for this purpose. For once I can say that a book lives up to its name....the author should research a little more........

Don't bother
31 May 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is probably one of the worst ghost books I have ever read. Perhaps it is trying to live up to it's title, since it assumes the reader does not know any definition for ghosts or hauntings or anything in between and chooses to act as if this book will give you all the answers. It doesn't give any. Most of the book is spent on small snippets of useless information in an effort to "tell you alot". If you want to read a real ghost book, go pick out anything by Hans Holzer, or perhaps "Gravesend",or "Haunted Heartland" or ANY other book on ghosts and hauntings but this one.
