    Synopsis

    Veteran occult researcher Steiger describes some of the common characteristics of myriad ghost phenomena, then surveys some of the manifestations within chapters such as spirit parasites that possessed, restored scenes of the past, haunted mansions and plantations, phantoms on roads and highways, ghosts visiting stores and office buildings, and ghosts from outer space.

    This excellent collection of ghost encounters will both warm the heart and scare you out of your wits. Steiger (The Source: Journey Through the Unexplained) has been a psychical researcher for nearly 50 years and appears regularly on television and radio programs. This is a collection of his personal accounts as well as his associates' experiences and stories collected from credible web sites for paranormal researchers. While the experiences make for interesting reading, the sheer number may become daunting if read straight through. Readers who enjoy books by John Edward (Hello from Heaven) or James Van Praagh (Talking to Heaven) will enjoy the feel-good selections in the chapter on ghosts that bid farewell, while spooky-movie fans will enjoy the haunted house tales. Excellent appendixes list haunted places in North America, ghost hunters to contact, and a filmography of the best Hollywood movies in the genre. Photographs throughout enhance the appeal. Good for any collection where the paranormal is popular, this is also an outstanding choice for those who like short stories and possibly for those hard-to-choose-for teens.-Jennifer Kuncken, Williamsburg Regional Lib., VA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    October 14, 2006: I absolutely enjoyed this book. What I really liked about this one was that it mainly relied on factual evidence to create chills rather than dramaticizing small events that could easily be explained away. I also liked the fact that each chapter was clearly sectioned off into categories so if I didn't really want to read about possessions and wanted to skip right to animal hauntings I could do so easily. The storytelling is solid and I found myself reading certain stories over and over again to friends and family. It actually told the accurate story better than any other book I've ever read on the subject. Usually I don't get the same kind of fear reading a book than I do watching a TV show but some of the stories, along with some well placed photos, made me actually want to keep the light on at night.
