Reviews

[Matt Mazenauer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Less for learning, more for entertainment. This is filled with some of the weirdest unverifiable and unreferenced paranormal stories. However, if you want to hear about the dog who said hello to a fireman in the 1800s or all the sort of stuff that has fallen from the skies that is not rain, this is the book for you.
