James's review
rating:
this book, british journalist will storr's examination of ghosts and the trappings that surround them, is an entertaining and oft-times spooky travelogue of one man's belief in the supernatural.
what started as a jokey assignment for a magazine (essentially poking fun at "american eccentric" and demonologist lou gentile), actually makes storr question his previously-held sceptic's beliefs. he then takes us with him from one interview to another, discussing his findings and experiences along the way.
while some folks he's interviewed come across as completely bonkers (or "mental," as the british case may be), others show an odd kind of reason.
i won't divulge where he ends up or the conclusions storr reaches, but this is definitely worth a read for anyone who's wondered about ghosts but hasn't quite made up his or her mind.
