Product Description

Product Description

Meticulously documented, "The South Shields Poltergeist" is a truly terrifying account which details the authors' struggle with an invisible, malicious entity that threatened and intimidated anyone who dared to stand up to it. Their encounter may well go down in the annals of psychical research as one of the most chilling true-life encounters of its kind. The book details the authors' investigation, over a period of several months, into what they believe to be the most intense, protracted and well-documented case of its kind. A man had his torso slashed severely; knives, coins and other objects were thrown around; a woman received sinister telephone calls and text messages from numbers that were supposedly disconnected; and children's toys spoke to the investigators. The book is based on the testimonies of those who actually experienced the South Shields Poltergeist at first hand.

Too close to home!! 16 May 2008
Format:Hardcover
Its not often that I'm truly scared by this kind of thing - usually just fascinated by the unknown. However, this book had the hairs on my neck standing on end and I even slept with the light after reading it! The absolute horror that poor family went through is mind boggling and they were obviously lucky to have Mike and Darren to support them through the ordeal.
Anyone with an interest in true cases of paranormal activity must read this - an eye opener and a rare (I hope!) case. The only thing I didn't like about this book is that the incident took place in South Shields, which is only just up the road from me - a little too close to home!!
I can't recommend this highly enough.

Scared Stiff 8 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover
I have never ever ever been so scared in my life. I highly recommend this book , I actually bought it for my mum's birthday and we both ended up sleeping with the lights on. The authors describe everything so well, pure genius! I can't wait for the blockbuster movie.
