Review
'He is a highly skilled craftsman, working with precision and accuracy.' -- Ron Schreiber, Margins
From the Publisher
It will take more than a shrug of the shoulder or condescending smile to dismiss the goings-on in this book. Readers will soon realize that the paranormal is only a step or two away from the ordinary and the world they look upon as real. Every page is an experience as C.J. Stevens explores the shadowy frontier which leads to a supernatural side of Maine.

This is THE definitive book on Supernatural in Maine...,
By demellos (ME, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Supernatural Side of Maine (Paperback)
This book is a veritable smörgåsbord of Supernatural events in Maine. Haunted houses and inns, phantom encounters, Bigfoot sightings, UFOs, interviews with such talented Maine psychics as Alexander Tanous, Bob Ater and Tamaranda, animal communication, dowsing, and so much more!
I knew Alex Tanous in Portland myself and Stevens' portrait of him is right-on. He was an amazing man! Tamaranda and her special talents really come alive. The book is well researched and engagingly written. I find myself gazing more watchfully at the sky, staying at a haunted inn whenever possible, and being altogether more open to the supernatural wonders of Maine and the world beyond. Curious readers will not find a more enjoyable book on the subject than "The Supernatural Side of Maine".

5.0 out of 5 stars
An intriguing book on Maine mysteries,
By Leslie Wordsmith (U.S.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Supernatural Side of Maine (Paperback)
The Supernatural Side of Maine kept me riveted to its pages. I had never realized that Maine was so rich in paranormal events.
What an incredible variety of topics! Haunted houses, witches, poltergeists, out-of-body experiences, UFOs, exorcisms - to name but a few. When reading these pages, one gets the feeling - and I still have it - that the supernatural is accessible to us all - one has but to keep an open mind. This is a very fine book, interesting and extremely informative. I know that I shall pick it up many times in the future.

Misleading Title,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Supernatural Side of Maine (Paperback)
This book contains a great deal about the supernatural, but very little about Maine. For example, page after page is devoted to the cursed cars owned by James Dean and the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, the Hope Diamond, the GREAT EASTERN disaster, exorcism, etc., etc., but there is no "Maine" connection.
In a chapter entitled "Witches and Their World," the author makes several errors of fact concerning the Salem Witch Trials. Then, in a lame attempt to include Maine in the witch madness of the late 17th century, he recounts the story of Barbara Houndsworth, the well-known "Ghost of Belfast, Maine," whom he admits was probably accused and convicted of a crime other than witchcraft. Had Mr. Stevens done his homework, he would have included the fact that the Rev. George Burroughs, one of the men hanged at Salem in 1692, was living and preaching in the Casco Bay area of Maine at the time he was arrested for the practice of witchcraft. Additionally, Maine is famous for its lighthouses, many of which are said to be haunted. I can name 10 haunted lighthouses in Maine without even thinking yet, Mr. Stevens comes up with only five. Either he has no interest whatsoever in the supernatural and/or folklore, or he lacks the ability to research a subject. There are some wonderful books about supernatural events in Maine, but this isn't one of them.
