Amazon.com Review
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

The Complete Hans Holzer,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond (Hardcover)
I like to refer to this book as the complete Hans Holzer because it appears to be compilation of his books mostly from the 60's and 70's, but the stories are still fascinating to read. If you want scary ghost stories, try something in the Michael Norman series, but if you want to read about actual investigations of hauntings, I highly recommend this book. A HUGE book with over 750 pages printed on high quality paper and lots of photographs, there is enough material here for at least three books!

Fun book even for the skeptic,
By Atheen M. Wilson "Atheen" (Mpls, MN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond (Hardcover)
Ghosts: True Encounters With the World Beyond by Hans Holzer is a comprehensive volume of the author's extensive research into the world of ghosts, spirits, and poltergists performed over the past 30 or more years. Whether one believes in these phenomenon or not, the book makes interesting reading. While many of the stories have appeared in other books, Holzer adds interesting updates and background information which give them a new perspective. Of particular interest to me was the historical research done with respect to the life and times surrounding some of the occurrences. The author discusses the American Revolution and Civil War and some of the events of early European history as well as some of the central figures of these events. Where he is able, he also adds information about the history the specific houses and other buildings he inspected. He gives advice to the would be ghost hunter, and describes some of the mediums with whom he worked. It sounds as though Dr. Holzer had a fun and exciting career that has taken him all over the world.

Top Hans Holzer,
By the wolverine "x-men fan" (Long Island , NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond (Hardcover)
If you have followed Hans Holzer's books through the years, you know every other ghost writer comes up wanting.
As always, this book does not disappoint. If you have read his other books, you will find much of this repetious of stories that have appeared in other titles, but that does not detract from the enjoyment of having so many good tales or reports (depending on your beliefs) in one location. A fine book for reading outside on a warm day, or indoors on a winter's night.....depending on what you think that creak in the floor was last night.... Enjoy
