Book Reviews of Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond
Book Review: A truly great book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an 18 year old high school student and I borrowed this book from my shop teacher. I expected it to just be a collection of ghost stories, but I was pleasantly surprised at just how fascinating it was. The real cases of hauntings are great too but the best thing is reading about Dr. Holzer's ideas on death. I never really believed in Heaven or Hell and things like that, but I always felt there was something there after death. For all my life I have had ideas on death and they will always be changing untill the day I die. But this book taught me some fundamental things I'll always remember. If you're just looking for ghost stories you may or may not want this book, but if you are really looking for a reason or idea on life and death you should get this book. It is fascinating.
Summary of Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond
In this definitive inquiry into ghostly manifestations and the nature of "the other side," the world's leading authority on the subject presents hundreds of case histories, tips on interpreting sounds and other signals from beyond and more. Photographs of haunted places and authenticated shots of actual ghosts and spirits are featured throughout the book.Hans Holzer is a world-renowned parapsychologist and author of several paranormal books including Are You Psychic? and Ghosts, Hauntings & Possessions, in which we learn of Holzer's earlier forays into the world of the supernatural. His encounters with the undead are apparently never-ending. Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond is a gigantic volume, documenting almost 200 cases of haunted houses, ships, castles, and just about any place imaginable! The cases are far more complex than just your average white-sheeted ghoul in the attic. Holzer examines the differences between "real ghosts," who reveal themselves to living people, and psychic impressions, which occur to many witnesses, always at the same time and place. There is also solid advice for interpreting paranormal signals--and even photographs of ghostly apparitions. This is an informative read, but one that is open to personal interpretation. --Naomi Gesinger
