Shadow World: True Encounters with Beings from the Darkside

by Brad Steiger

Having conducted research through five decades and across four continents, investigator Brad Steiger concludes that a richly populated Shadow World exists all around us. When it impinges on our ordinary plane of shared reality, this dark dimension is sometimes frightening, occasionally menacing, but always worthy of cautious exploration. Spirits of the dead are but one of the many types of beings that inhabit the Shadow World. Others appear to be multidimensional beings, some of whom may be benign, while others seem to be cosmic tricksters or troublemakers bent on mischief. And unfortunately some of the beings that seem to have our best interests at heart may in fact have entered our world with the intention of possessing our bodies or capturing our souls.

[Stephen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A really interesting, well written, and well organized book about "beings from elsewhere." I'm not saying I buy into the physical reality of all Steiger talks about, but he's clearly done a lot of thinking and research on it. I believe this is the same book as the one titled "Shadow World: Spiritual Encounters that Can Change Your Life," though "True Encounters" is a newer edition, and has a catchier title. The classifications of shadow creatures in this book are potentially useful for fiction authors (like me). Brad is a great speaker, too, if you get a chance to hear him -- like on www.uncannyradio.com.

Some interesting stories; whether or not to believe them is another matter. It gives you a glimpse into the minds of those who say it happened and how they describe these supernatural experiences. Recommend for writers of such.
