In addition to rounding up the usual suspects, including the Bell Witch, Borley Rectory, the monster of Glarris Castle, and Gef, the mongoose/poltergeist on the Isle of Man, Steiger has included much that is new for the dedicated ghost aficionado. The photographs alone are particularly fascinating.... Steiger’s new book is a mammoth undertaking that should be taken a few chapters at a time and savored the way one would enjoy a good meal in one of the author’s haunted restaurants. Everyone interested in our final destination, or just in need of a very creepy reading experience, should have a copy. – FATE magazine. This excellent collection of ghost encounters will both warm the heart and scare you out of your wits. – Library Journal. Do ghosts exist? VIP’s newest phenomena(l) offering, Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places expertly reports the evidence. Supernaturally written by renowned “ghost-writer” Brad Steiger—whose resume begins where Stephen King’s and Dean Koontz’s imaginations end—Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places is more than a collection of true ghost stories. Readers of all ages will find themselves plunked into the middle of the eerie action with captivating stories that would be at home at any midnight campfire. The only difference is these stories aren’t urban legends employing hooks, needles, or long, metal fingernails for their scare. These stories exist outside of the mind and live right next door to every one of us.

With a hand in more than 150 books, Brad Steiger has spent five decades exploring the unusual, hidden, secret, and otherwise strange. Steiger appears frequently on radio and television, and bimonthly as a guest on the nationally syndicated Jeff Rense Show, answering listener questions about mysterious events.
