More enlightening...not so shadowy., April 30, 2000
This review is from: Shadow World: Spiritual Encounters That Can Change Your Life (Paperback)
What I like most about Brad Steiger's "Shadow World" is how he shows us that a spirit isn't just some disembodied, confused ghost from the Beyond, back from the dead to haunt a house, a family, a tree, or even, a car. Spirits, if you believe in them, seem to come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and purposes. I like Steiger's designation of their realm as a "shadow world," neither a positive nor negative connotation, but a more neutral, easy term to consider. It's not hard to believe many of the stories that the author shares with us. I've always thought that credible eyewitnesses are very important, whether you're talking about ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot, or psychic phenomena, in general. If eyewitness testimony is given serious consideration in courts of law, why not here? Sure, it's crucial to keep a skeptical, open eye with regard to these subjects, but there has to be a point where the incredibly large numbers of reports must be seriously weighed. Throughout all of history, with literally thousands of eyewitness reports of ghostly phenomena, is it possible that every single account has either been made up, misperceived, or outright hoaxed? Brad Steiger makes me believe something real is going on and experienced by sincere people from all walks of life. He skillfully presents many fascinating tales of humans interacting with denizens of the "shadow world." If only one encounter is real -- just one ghost, one poltergeist, one animal spirit -- of the thousands ever reported through the ages, then shouldn't mainstream Science direct more time and energy to the research of it? It seems to me that, by paying more attention to the research and writings of someone like Brad Steiger in his eye-opening "Shadow World," we inch our way ever closer to the answer of the ultimate question that every single human being has ever wondered about -- whether there actually is a spiritual survival of physical death.

Shadow World, July 10, 2000
This review is from: Shadow World: Spiritual Encounters That Can Change Your Life (Paperback)
Brad Steiger's Shadow World is a book which could only have been written by the Master of The Paranormal. Shadow world is a MUST read for the majority that believe in Spirit communication and should be read by anyone that still doubts a continium of life after death. The later may have some of their ideas changed and a new world opened. Shadow World has a message of hope that life and other diminsions do exist. Mr. Steiger doesn't give the easy "pop" answers. In fact most of the stories are presented as they occurred defying any conventional explainations.This book can change your life. While most of us will never have occasion to meet Mr. Bigfoot, or UFO's, we all must eventually face death. Indeed, the afterlife, is the true Final Frontier. Mr. Steiger has offered the first no nonsence guide to the other side. Highly recommended. Erskine (Syndicated Radio Talk Show Host, Erskine Overnight)

Enter the Shadow World, and let Brad Stieger be your guide., June 1, 2000
This review is from: Shadow World: Spiritual Encounters That Can Change Your Life (Paperback)
Few posses the sheer knowledge of the paranormal that Brad Steiger has. I have been studying the paranormal and religion/spirituality all of my life. I have read over five hundred books on the subject. Shadow World is in my top ten; I recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. Normally, I don't read a book from cover to cover in one sitting. I like to savor a good book, stop and think about it, then go back to it. I couldn't help myself with Shadow World, it enthralled and I could not put it down. Any of Steigers books are a sure thing. He writes from the heart, and with passion. If you are new to the field of parapsychology, or if you are an expert, this book is sure to give you a new look on what lies beyond this world of ours. This book can send chills up your spine at times, and touch your soul at others. I highly recommend it.
