"For a book written over twenty years ago, this is an excellent volume for seeing the real beginnings of what we now know as the 'ghost hunting' movement. Most of the reviewed cases, esp. those of Elke Summer and the small 'Green Man', are cases rarely found in other later publications by other authors. Other more commonly visited are given their due space. Contextualizing what was happening is often the difficult part with compilations like these, and this series has a smooth style that combines well the facts and the prose smoothly to the point where it reads less so much as a collection of reports as a series of beloved 'ghost stories'. Be sure to pay attention to the dark, emboldened text captions for the photographs. An excellent companion to the two other spirit-related volumes in the series, Spirit Summonings and Ghostly Encounters. What it may lack in details is understandable for its age, but otherwise a great beginning and introduction just the same."
