Objects mysteriously fly around a room. Lights appear in the windows of an abandoned house. A woman is visited by the spirit of her deceased husband; what can explain occurrences like these? The articles in this anthology explore the nature of ghosts and poltergeists and possible earthly explanations for them. (20030301)
This book deals with the question if ghosts and poltergeists are fact or fiction, if they are real or not. The author starts with a definition of either ghosts and poltergeists, tries to find an explanation why ghosts exists, states that houses are haunted by those who live there, talks about mysterious fires and the Warrens who encountered ghosts. Do ghosts comfort the living? He differs two different types of them. In the second main section we hear all the arguments why ghosts are not real: fakes, amazing photos, the Warrens as misguided ghost busters, ghosts as hallucinations and strange spectres. Overall a very interesting book covering the topic from different angles. Really recommended!
