5.0 out of 5 stars Ghosts From the Viewpoint of the Master, October 14, 2005

By	Debra Morse (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ghost Hunting with Derek Acorah (Paperback)

Derek Acorah is the preeminent medium and psychic in Britain, if not the world, today. A former pro footballer, he now devotes his life to spirit, and "the real work of helping others through the use of my mediumistic gifts, just as my grandmother had done before me". Mr. Acorah is assisted by his spirit guide Sam. In addition to conducting his private practice he appears on the hit television documentary show Most Haunted (now viewable in the States on the Travel Channel), as well as numerous other shows in England.

This book details some of Derek's more colorful and fascinating experiences exploring hauntings, primarily in the UK. In a notable incident on this side of the pond he encountered the spirit of actor Michael Landon in Los Angeles, and was able to function as a medium from Mr. Landon to one of Landon's children. Derek includes some narrative experiences of his readers, as well as tips on how to best conduct one's own ghost hunting expeditions (if you don't already know why you will want a bag of flour, you need this book). There is also a list of locations he has not yet visited, but believes would be good sites to investigate

Written in a very easy, conversational style, one feels as if one is sitting down with a friend. From viewing Derek on the telly, as well as visiting his website, and reading other of his material I know he is a sweet and fearless soul. If you are interested in spiritualism, hauntings, the paranormal, or wish to plot out a ghost hunting trip to the British Isles, you should read this book.

This review is from: Ghost Hunting with Derek Acorah (Paperback)

I have read all but one of the books that international Medium Derek Acorah has written so far as I am a strong fan of his. I must mention that all of his books are available on Amazon.com. Yes, I too am a Medium, but that does not mean that I still can't learn and enjoy reading about other gifted people. I have seen Derek in action, and I must say he is one of the world's best. In all of his books, including this one, Derek brings you to the mysterious world of ghosts, spirits and haunting. He goes way beyond that and tells of his life and personal experiences which I find fascinating as will everyone who reads this. He is so good and in demand that he has had many successful T.V. shows including "Most Haunted", Derek Acorah's Ghost Town's" and is currently the star of his new show: "Paranormal Eygpt", which I have watched and found that I wish my own abilities were as good as his. I recommend this great book, written in a down to earth style and contain true stories. Reading his works make me wish to some day meet & perhaps work with him. This book for me gets five stars!
