I do enjoy the occult and reading true and even scary ghost stories - but every once in a while it is fun to read something that makes you laugh like PG Wodehouse or Oscar Wilde, now, in this book, Dr. Dorothy Scarborough has put together some of the most laugh out loud, farcical, witty ghost stories EVER!

Now, if you are a fan of humor, of wit, farce, the occult, or just need a laugh, read this book!!! You will laugh on each page!

This review is from: Humorous Ghost Stories (Paperback)

As someone interested in the paranormal, I am always on the look out for a book like this - as I expect that some ghosts much keep on some 'human' qualities after death - and this book has these types of stories.

First, the book is full of great reads, you will really love the stories and the writing and the imagination.

Second, you will laugh - but its not all funny - they are ghosts - and sometimes the ghost gets the last laugh!

Lastly, this book will get you thinking about your own experiences - or show you how to find them! After all, ghosts are very close!

Enjoy! :)

Classic ghost stories with a bit of humor. I've read two or three here and enjoyed them all. Looking forward to reading others from time to time - a nice treat between more serious reading.
