This book is a lot of fun to read, but the scary thing is that the stories are real! This book backs up the spooky and incredible experiences of the X-Investigations team with the facts of their findings. I highly recomend this, it will open your eyes to an entire world around you that you might never have noticed!

Occult Investigator is a thrilling look at a modern-day paranormal research outfit headed by author Bob Johnson.
From werewolves in Van Nuys, California to Satanists living next door, the X-Investigations team are at the top of their game in this book.
The stories are chilling and remind us that it's nice to have someone on your side when things go bump in the night!

Great, fast read...and spooky! I love that these are REAL case studies. Especially that story about the demon-posessed woman. I want more! I highly recommend it.

Five stars for the entertaining style of writing and very interesting cases that uncovers unusual hauntings to werewolves in California to possession.

What is lacking in these presented cases is that there doesn't seem to be permanent solutions and closures to some cases. Take the example of the female dabbler whose spell-casting backfired and she ended up possessed by a sex demon. She came to Bob the investigator already possessed and left the case still possessed! Absolutely no positive change in the afflicted situations! Case still left open and unsolved - unless
"closure" means mere satisfaction of curiosity of whether or not she was actually possessed when all the signs were already there. Bob, find that woman and send her for a Roman Catholic exorcism. Same goes for the case on that haunted computer which channeled the works and spirit of a dead occultist. The story ended in this book with a child being possessed, so what and where are the solutions to this case? Cases left unsolved are problems unsolved.

While Bob is an expert in his own right, a non-religious approach to cases involving demonic entities doesn't seem to work for long and the affected people and areas are left not much better than their original state. However, Bob and his sexy female ghost-buster associate did successfully resolve other cases of hauntings. This is to be applauded when they can grant relief to the afflicted.

The writing style of this book makes reading easy and entertaining. But, if you're looking for suggestions on solutions to solve yourself, you may want to try books like "Beware the Night", "Hostage to the Devil", "The Demonologist", "The Dark Sacrament", "Shadows of the Dark".

As an avid reader of the horror genre and scary books I was disturbed that this was neither. One could not even classify this as a mystery or suspense. It is really utter nonsense. It is insulting for the author to claim that he is a trained investigator in any sense. Yet he willingly without any investigation gets involved in blood rituals and seances. Any expert in the occult has a healthy respect for the preternatural. Nany Drew would have done a better job on any one of the highly suspicious and improbable cases. This book should be geared for the 6 to 9 year old age group and unless they are camping alone in a cemetary at midnight on a full moon they would not belive or be scard. This book was a waste of money.
