5.0 out of 5 stars I still have chills. . ., April 3, 2001

This review is from: True Mystic Experiences: Fascinating Real Life Stories of Spirits, Other Dimensions & Strange Phenomena (Paperback)

After reading this beautifully compiled book of strange and unusual mystic experiences, the world was not the same for me. Jennifer Spees weaves together a scary, yet poignant fabric of unbelievably true stories, threaded with supernatural, paranormal, and just plain spooky undertones. This is a must have for anyone who has experienced the unbelievable, who has an interest in the paranormal, or who just wants to be entertained. Be prepared to be mystified!

5.0 out of 5 stars For Fate Magazine fans and those who love a cold chill!, June 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: True Mystic Experiences: Fascinating Real Life Stories of Spirits, Other Dimensions & Strange Phenomena (Paperback)

Ignore the slightly cheesy cover...this book is great. We always had Fate Magazine around the house when I was growing up, and I later subscribed (although the current incarnation of the magazine can't hold a candle to the ones from the 60's, 70's and before). My favorite monthly segments were always "True Mystic Experiences" and "My Proof of Survival"...ordinary readers wrote in to tell their ghostly/paranormal/psychic experiences. It's great to have this collection of stories to take me back...and this has plenty from Fate's 50+ year archives. Hopefully Fate will put out a "My Proof of Survival" book next...I read this in a couple of evenings and want more!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Beyond in Your Living Room, March 28, 2001

This review is from: True Mystic Experiences: Fascinating Real Life Stories of Spirits, Other Dimensions & Strange Phenomena (Paperback)

Curl up in a comfy chair and turn down the lights-this book is good, eerie fun! I read True Mystic Experiences while home alone, and ended up turning on a few more lights before I was finished.

These stories are true firsthand accounts of freaky things that ordinary people have experienced. Ranging from bizarre and scary to genuinely moving, the visceral impact of the stories is amplified by the immediacy and sincerity of the storyteller's voice. The Voice Only Mother Heard, Her Eyes Live Forever, The Unholy Highball-these are some of the best stories from fifty years' worth of Fate Magazine's True Mystic Experiences column.

I found that just reading this collection of mystical happenings and odd occurences was a delightfully spine-tingling experience... Whether you believe in the paranormal world or not, True Mystic Experiences will keep you engrossed, and continually checking the corners of the room.
