Reviews

[Sam · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting collection of stories some of which are fairly well known others which are obscure and little known, an entertaining collection of mysteries from around the world

[Amanda Witt]

Very interesting, featuring two page spreads of unsolved or unknown things from supposed alien sightings, to the Loch Ness monster and ghosts.
