Intriguing and entertaining February 1, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
When I first saw the cover, I knew I had to read this book! I have other books by Brad Steiger, and know him to be a ghosthunter of some repute, but it was the cover, showing a cemetery statue superimposed over an abandoned house, that grabbed my attention. Steiger takes the reader on a tour of frightening and sometimes sad true ghost experiences. Some already known, such as the Bell Witch and Esther Cox, but many which had not been related before now. My only complaint was I thought the stories would have been more suspenseful---I wanted to be scared out of my socks! However, it is a entertaining way to spend an afternoon, and if you desire a very good book for teens or young adult readers, this would fit the bill.

The jacket blurb says the author has written more than 100 books on "the strange and unknown." In this book he, "draws upon his forty years as a psychic researcher to select the eeriest, spookiest, scariest true stories from his own investigations and from his extensive files." Steiger adds fictional dialogue to some of the stories, and generally relates his stories with flair, not always sticking to the facts as published in other books.
