This book asks some great questions on the validity of ghosts and the afterlife, and amazingly, goes some way to answering them. The way that Storr approaches the whole thing, in a completely sensible and rational manner, gives it a level of credibility not commonly found in books on this subject. If something is quite plainly silly - and quite a few things in this book are - Storr says so. If something is genuinely strange and inexplicable, he says so. He doesn't have a fixed position as a believer or a sceptic that he feels obliged to defend, and his investigation is clearly a voyage of discovery, to find out the 'truth' or something close to it. Loony frauds and hard-line sceptics are dismissed as equal irrelevancies along the way, and the cases that are worth investigating deeper get close attention. Most Haunted Live, interestingly, gets quite a damning assessment as Storr describes a distinctly un-paranormal chain of events backstage (pre-scheduled 'happenings' anyone? Oh dear...) As he digs through the nonsense and the timewasters on his travels, Storr uncovers some strange and unsettling things. Some of the bits on the Enfield Poltergeist, 'possession' cases and the frontier science of 'string theory' are pretty mind-blowing. All in all, I think this book has genuinely become something more important than it perhaps was intended to be, and is a fantastic document on the subject.
