4.0 out of 5 stars A Review from the St. John's Haunted Hike, September 27, 2001

By	Dale Jarvis (St. John's, Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews

First of all, I must admit that I am a bit biased in this review, as I was fortunate enough to be a contributor of the stories for the Newfoundland Canada section of the book. Having said that, I do feel that this is a very useful, well laid out and presented guide to hauntings from around the world. Some of the reports could do with more detail, but the strength of this book is in its attempt to have an incredibly wide variety of accounts from all over the world. I would definately recommend it to those interested in ghost stories, and as well to the armchair traveller!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly Scary, October 20, 2003

By	Debra Raya (Rancho Cordova, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This book was great. There were a few repeat stories that I have read in other books, however, it is nice to see a story told from this author's point of view.

I am an avid reader of the paramormal, and was very suprised to find a few ghostly descriptions that still scared me and made me sleep with the light on.

I would recommend this book to anyone the likes to be scared just for the fun of it.
