Product Description
From Amazon
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
Book Description
A definitive enquiry into ghostly manifestations and evidence of "the other side", in which the world's leading authority on the subject presents hundreds of case histories, tips on interpreting sounds and other signals from the world beyond, and more...The book is broad-ranging in it's scope, taking you to places around the world - to houses, ships, aeroplanes, forests, castles and even cars - haunted by those who have not been able to make the transition from their physical state to the world of the spirit.

It's big. It's good. I like it.,

This review is from: Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond (Hardcover)
Believe it or not--as big as this book is, I've pretty much read the entire thing cover to cover. That's how good I think it is. Really, it's the only book on ghosts you need...not that anyone really needs a book about ghosts. Okay so some of it is just a bunch of scientific mumbo jumbo, but the actual ghost stories are pretty interesting. It also contains some cool photos. My only complaint, really, is that it's size makes it a bit awkward to carry around. I guess it's well worth the workout though.

Read It From Cover To Cover - The Best Ghost Book Ever!,
By
This review is from: Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond (Hardcover)
This was a good read, with good case lengths and interesting accompanying photos. Mr. Holzer gives detailed accounts on many well-known and lesser-known hauntings and paranormal events. I like the fact that he brought a medium with him on most of the investigations, and that he isn't quick to jump to conclusions. Each case involves as many independent witnesses and experts as possible. I came across this book at my local library, and now it has gone missing, so I hope they reorder it again for patrons. This book has been on my wishlist for a long time, and I have just ordered it at a terrific price from Amazon.ca. The size of the book may be intimidating, but I can assure many readers that they won't want to put it down. This is by far the best book I have ever read on ghosts, spirits, and hauntings! It will stay in my home library for life!

Ignore the above review who says Hans is full of himself,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond (Hardcover)
I like this book so far. He writes about a lot of ghost hunts he's been on...but I'd rather read a book about things that actually occured than read a book about things that MAY have occured. I'm glad he stays on the topic of stuff he knows happened from personal expieriences rather than possible urban legends about small towns. I really don't agree with the review above.You get a huge book and lots of information for your money here!
