Ghost stories at their best!

I found this book to be an excellent read, I really enjoyed it. I particularly liked the fact that it contained many various types of paranormal experience; as there are many books concentrating on angels or angelic healpers it was refreshing to read a book that is merely"ghost stories". I would recommend this book. It is from Australian sources but although I can't picture the scenes, never having been there, it doesn't matter: a ghost story is a ghost story no matter where on the globe it happened. As someone who has seen many ghosts and had lots of"encounters" I found the stories honest and fresh, and perfectly believable. As a mother I did miss out entirely the chapter where people's deceased children visited them, but the other chapters were all interesting and well written, if a little dramatic! But what ghost story worth it's salt doesn't use some colourful language - I loved it!!

Fab book!

A really good book. Very interseting & the pictures do look believable & make you feel a bit spooky!!

Review by a sceptic

I picked up 'Extreme Psychic' for a bit of light relief and some possible explanations about the supernatural, as I am an open-minded sceptic.<br /><br />In the first chapter, Acorah recounts how he met a young man in a 'mental care institution'. The young man was hearing voices and Acorah states:<br />'The young man was neither mentally deranged nor schizophrenic. Quite simply David had the gift of spiritual communication.'<br />As someone who works in the field of mental health, I found this kind of blasé approach to the diagnoses of people with mental health issues to be trite and irresponsible. Plus...I don't think anyone has been described as being 'mentally deranged' for at least thirty years.<br /><br />Putting this aside I continued, in the hope that I would receive some explanation for ghosts, spirits and the like. There was nothing.<br /><br />There was, however, a really funny chapter involving the spirit of an evil monk (although he wasn't really a monk, he was just pretending!!) having to be 'bundled back to the astral plane.' I nearly fell off my chair laughing when Acorah exclaimed; 'I had found the vortex!' Another high point for me was when he waltzed round the kitchen with possessed women!<br /><br />If you're looking for something amusing but a little more balanced and intelligent, then I would recommend 'Will Storr vs. The Supernatural' by Will Storr.<br /><br />This is trite, offers no real explanations. Reads passably well as a ghost story, which is why I gave it two stars.<br />

Bought this and thought at first it wouldn't work but after using it for about 5 minutes it started to move around the writing pad. I am not sure if I contact spirits in the afterlife or it was our unconscious minds but it certainly worked. The only drawback is the pen that was supplied leaked and at times fell out of the planchette but the book is good and informative.

Not believeable, but interesting.

Because the book was based on real places and especially Highgate Cemetary, it was interesting, but somewhat unbelieveable. If you enjoy reading about real landmarks, you will enjoy but it will leave you thinking, yeah right!
