True Hauntings

True Hauntings is truely a superb collection into the paranormal.<br />Very interesting to read.

A very good horror story

Despite the fact this has now been proven as the greatest hoax of all time, do not let that put you off from reading this book.<br /><br />This is a great horror story and although the films are good, they lack the sheer impact of Jay Ansons original work. This is one seriously creepy story and angle taken, that of reporting it from the families point of occurences that happened, view rather than the usual 'hero' angle fiction stories use, really makes it a damn good read.<br /><br />Basically this book is the blair witch project of novels. Its only drawback is that although the book is supposed to be reporting a time period of only 28 days, it feels like this story took place over a timespan of months owing to the occasional drop in pace.

Read this and feel right in yourself

This book helps you to understand that you really are a child of God, and why you SHOULD believe it and not feel guilty...

REIKI teachers manual

This book is very practical and down to earth , filled with common sense on how to guide others towards -- Reiki --

Poorly written

This book could have, and should have, been much better. It is poorly written, riddled with typos and grammatical errors and at times verges on the incomprehensible. Example:<br /><br />'During the Second World War the platforms were bricked up to protect those sheltering from passing trains...'<br /><br />My first thought was"Why did they need to shelter from passing trains?" After rereading the sentence three or four times I arrived at the conclusion that they were sheltering from bombs, not trains. This poor writing is unfortunately not unique. Paragraphs are often poorly ordered, and material is frequently repeated. A simple proof-reading should have revealed these problems, instead the book gives the impression of being hastily thrown together in a word-processing programme and never checked for errors.<br /><br />The book also suffers from too much history and too few ghosts, a common enough problem in this class of book.<br /><br />Some of the hauntings presented have only a tenuous link to the Underground, it seems that the fact that a station entrance is next door to the haunt, or that a tunnel passes under it, is enough to include it.<br /><br />Nevertheless, it does have its interest and with the lack of any other book covering the subject, a poor book will have to do. The fact that it does have some cases not covered elsewhere is the only reason I give it 2 stars instead of 1.<br /><br />Haunted London Underground

the review

A hugely disappointing book. Should have included more on ghosts instead of dubious legends. In a lot of cases far too brief. The layout and presentation is very good and the maps are clear and precise.<br />Having read it it is rather like one of the places you always wanted to visit but when you arrive it is a big let down.

Very Good Stories

I read this book within the first night.... it was different to what i expected it to be but in a good way<br /><br /> it explains the different investigations T.A.P.S. have done and some seem very scary especially the first ones... if your a fan of Ghost Hunters this a def must have

another great book by jones

this is another great book by richard jones.the book is very informative,laying out each walk very well with maps of the route to take and stories of the hauntings.it was very interesting to read.<br /><br />I would recommend this for londoners or people planning a visit to london so you can get best use of it,as sitting in your living room reading 'turn left at the traffic lights and past the post office' etc will be abit odd but it was a great book and i really enjoyed reading it but to make the most of it take it with you next time you visit. great book.

Amazing Revelations This side and the other side of life.

Having seen James Van Prague I was intrigued to read his books. I truly believe that there are spirits with us all the time especially our loved ones who have passed and this book made this easy to believe and not to be afraid of the unknown but to speak to them as you would if they were still here with you.<br />It is very comforting and helpful to be able to grasp the fact that we will see them again, they know what is happening in our lives at this moment in time and that we can call on them for help as we would have in this life. <br /><br />I feel it has encouraged people who are still grieving and who cannot go on with their lives here to see that their loved ones are all right, that they are with us and they are unhappy if we are unhappy.<br /><br />Truly wonderful, simply explained and gratifying book.

a very creepy book

this book was brilliantly scary, a must read for those into the paranormal,what the family went through was terrible but for those who are reading this and havent yet got the book i wont let on to much but what did bother me about it was that the entity was mostly based in the little boys bedroom were alot of things happened when he was in there asleep he must have had to suffer a good few weeks in there whilst this was all happening and only taken out of the room when things got bad ! all i can say is he would of been out the first nght it happend if it was me then the next day we would have legged it even if it ment living in a tent !

Great book shame about the intro

I've been curious about this book for a while and it was as charming as I had hoped. The Rev Robert Kirk must have been some man. It's just a shame that the 19th century introduction by Andrew Lang (which takes up a full 50% of this short book) is tediously repetitive and far more interested in psychic phenomenon than in fairy belief. This is a curio, probably only worth buying for those with some connection to the topic either through their heritage or their belief system. It will teach you only a little, but is an interesting read (assuming you skip the introduction).

Splendid book -- No false advertising

I'll have to disagree with"fatmanupnorth" about this book. The subtitle is"True Stories of Paranormal Encounters from Everyday People" and that's exactly what it is. The subtitle is NOT"True Stories of Paranormal Investigations from Everyday People". I got what I expected based on the title, and was quite pleased with it. This book is written better than most other books I've come across in this genre, and there is no"filler" information, which is probably why it's a bit thin. On the whole, this book was quite an entertaining and, at times, chilling read.

Entertaining and of high quality

This is a very enjoyable book. The photos are varied and highly intriguing. A few are famous ones and one or two thought to be fakes, whereas others are simply mysteries, with it seeming highly likely in many that a ghost really has been caught on film. The narration is excellent too; just the right length to read bit at a time, with intelligent analysis and historical background. All in all this is a super book and one which turned out to be even better than I had expected. Great fun, and eerie to boot!

Fascinating

A well put together and thought provoking book.<br />A must read for all interested in the subject of Life after Death.

You Absolutely Have to Buy This !

This really is a tremendously exciting work. If you are a"truth seeker" you really must treat yourself to this book. It opened up a whole new perspective for me and spurred me on to research the subject independently . Although the author doesn't mention the word"reptilians" at all, I'd urge you to shelve your preconceptions and go and google"Orion, reptilians" after reading this book and do some research into ancient accounts of Et's from Orion, reptilians from Orion etc. Buy"Flying Serpents and Dragons" by R A Boulay too and you'll start seeing the connections.

Good Reading

I have all the Element books in hard back. It was a shame this is only is paperback. Still a very good read - just make sure it's not too late at night and you're not alone!

Fab book

Oh I just love everything Doreen writes, her cards, books all of her work is good, just love it. Have found that the acccuracy of the cards is weird, but I am getting used to trusting what I am doing. Have really got into this as it all makes a lot of sense. If you are looking for something more in your life then would recommend this and other Doreen Virtue's works.

The found spirits (& others) alright!

I'm a fan of syfy's ghost hunters and I've read both of J&G's books by now. I personally prefer the first book, mainly because I prefer to read about cases not presented in the tv series. This second book contains chapters relevant to those who aspire to investigate / start their own investigational team, which was not personally interesting to me. On the whole though, it's a very well written book, I breezed through it in 2-3 evenings. The icing on the cake, I have to say, is Grant's revelation. And I must give credit to the guys for demystifying a topic that has been so mysterious and petrifying to many, especially after watching one too many Hollywood's spin on this subject. 9 out of 10 for the first book. 8 out of 10 for the second.

Jan-andrew Henderson excels himself

After reading another book by this author (The Ghost That Haunted Itself) I actively searched for more of his books, fortunately Edinburgh- City of The Dead had just been released. This book has a much broader spectrum of aspects of Edinburgh's darker and, perhaps at times, sinister side. Wonderfully written, Henderson mixes fact with a light hearted breezy nature that often had me laughing out loud. Covering topics from paganism to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, this book was a wealth of knowledge, which has to be said, has helped me start up many a conversation while in company!!!

If you have read The Ghost That Haunted Itself then this is an absolute must to read, refreshingly different but by no means less talentedly written.

Brilliant Must Have Read

This is a fantastic book to read. I have been very interested in ghosts since an early age and have a vast collection of books on this subject and i think this book is the best by far out of all of them.<br />A big thumbs up to the Author of this book, he has written this book very well and its nice to see a book with new locations being written about.<br />I will most definately be visiting as many of the locations in this book as i can, to try and find the ghosts for myself.<br />I would recommend this book for anybody who is interested in this subject.
