I admit to being somewhat of a strange and curious person with a scientific bent. After reading and reviewing the book "Flying Saucers caught on film" I decided to purchase this book (Ghosts Caught on Film by Dr. Melvyn Willin) in hopes of finding at least one photograph that was not a fake and was investigated by true scientists. Like the book on flying saucers, this volume had some intriguing photographs that are not easily explained; nevertheless, I did not find any of them compelling enough scientifically to warrant believing in ghosts and other so-called paranormal phenomena.
Some of the subjects and photographs covered in this 156 book includes the following: The earliest images, faker, fakir or floater? Do you believe in fairies? Suspicious spirit séance, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, Photographing the invisible: A sprit of faith, the releasing of the soul, new ages of enlightenment, the Madonna of the fountain, an angel in the basement, ghostly arm-pull in Manila, Birthday intruders, the sleeping ghost, spirit head joins party table, a gnarled hand at her throat, the uninvited guest, a ghostly dinner intruder, white lady on the tombstone, the haunted doorway, and numerous other photos.
In conclusion, if you believe in ghosts and the paranormal, you will probably love this book. For those with a scientific and rational mind, you may find the photographs amusing, but unconvincing from a scientific viewpoint.
