5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff!, November 19, 2004

By	James N Simpson (Gold Coast, QLD Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Creepy Stuff is an excellent compact sized book packed of fascinating information on macabre and scary subject matter. There are five chapters, chapter one is on Visions, Dreams and Prophecies. Chapter two covers Coincidence or Destiny, chapter three Not-So inanimate Objects, chapter four Spooks, Specters and Witches with the final fifth chapter covering Just Plain Weird. Every chapter has a quiz with a final larger quiz at the end of the book. There are also six colour pages in the middle with great photographs.

Inside you learn interesting information such as the Titanic carried an Egyptian mummy that everyone who had come in contact with had previously died, did it sink because of the mummy's curse? Two brothers were killed a year apart by the same taxi with the same passenger is another fascinating fact this book teaches. I don't want to give anything else away lets just say this is an excellent easy to read book. If you like this book also check out the much, much larger Ripley's Believe it or Not Encyclopedia of the Bizarre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok book (Please mind my spelling), January 2, 2005

By	Giggles "The Ultamite Reader" (In the depths of a bookstore) - See all my reviews

"Creepy Stuff" opened my eyes and my mind to a world full of just so..."Creepy Stuff!" I was enlightened with the facts, stories, and pictures. I learned a lot from that book while broadining my thinking skills. (though I might not have that many)And even though I got many of the trivia questions wrong, it was a great experience to read this book...Believe it!
