Inspiring and Fun, with a Message, Nov 15 2005
By Debra Morse - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Psychic Adventures of Derek Acorah: TV's Number One Psychic (Audio Cassette)
What a treasure of a book, and of a man. Fans of Derek Acorah will lap this one up like kittens to cream.For the uninitiated, Derek Acorah is a renowned medium and psychic in the UK who is now quite appropriately making his mark on the world stage. A former pro footballer, he now devotes his life to spirit and "the real work of helping others through the use of my mediumistic gifts, just as my grandmother had done before me". Mr. Acorah is assisted by his spirit guide Sam. In addition to conducting his private practice he appears on the hit television documentary show Most Haunted (now viewable in the States on the Travel Channel), as well as numerous other shows in Britain.
This book details many of Derek's anecdotal experiences both in the UK and the US. He describes readings he has done for individuals, and as part of his radio and television work, including shows like Most Haunted, Predictions, and Antiques Ghost Show. His stories are at times poignant, sad, amusing, and side-splittingly funny. Whether encountering the spirit of a past English monarch, a Jack the Ripper victim, or an audience members gran, Derek shows us that the personality survives the physical death process. The sweet remain sweet, the belligerent remain difficult, and certain spirits who like tobacco seem determined to get Derek thrown out of his non-smoking hotel room!
While I have both the paperback and tape version of this work, the audio book featured here gives the added treat of hearing these tales in Derek's own voice, which is very friendly and engaging. The nightmare of congestion that is the SoCal freeway system is greatly soothed by having Derek ride shotgun in the tape player!
Whether you are a believer, or a sceptic, this book is highly enjoyable. If you are interested in spiritualism, hauntings, or the paranormal, you should read this book. (Aside to DA: consider releasing some DVDs in the US market!)

An adventurous book!, Feb 23 2006
By Marla Brooks - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psychic Adven Of Derek Acorah (Paperback)
Anyone who is a fan of The Travel Channel's "Most Haunted" and "Derek Acorah's Ghost Towns" will enjoy getting to know Derek better through his series of books. He's a charming man with an easy writing style who considers his gift "just a normal part of my everyday life" and he doesn't feel the need to try and shove paranormal dogma down anyone's throat."The Psychic Adventures of Derek Acorah" begins with a brief history of who he is and how his introduction to the psychic world came to be, then chronicles many of his adventures within the UK. Some of the stories, like his encounter with Mary Queen of Scots and a malicious spirit who attacked his energy field are fascinating, while others, like his chapter on bereavement are heartwarming and informative.
I read the book in one sitting, immediately ordered his two other books, and have already pre-ordered the latest offering, Haunted Britain, which should be available the end of March. If the Most Haunted and Ghost Towns DVD's were available for American audiences, which sadly, they are not, I'd truly be a happy camper.
