Holy Ghostbuster: A Parson's Encounters With the Paranormal

Rate this book
The Reverend J Aelwyn Roberts was Vicar of Llandegai in North
Wales for 36 years. As Director of Social Work and Adoption Officer
for the Diocese of Bangor he found himself increasingly called upon
to deal with hauntings and other aspects of the paranormal. His fascinating
tales about his ghost experiences have led to frequent
appearances on television for BBC Wales and HTV. As well as being
a consummate story-teller, he has written many stories and scripts
for BBC Radio.


'It began when as a young parish priest I tried to assuage my curiosity about ghosts, and in no time at all found myself enjoying the company of these people from the world of yesterday. I even found myself acting as counsellor/social worker to many of them. I just can't understand anyone being afraid of ghosts.'

J. Aelwyn Roberts


'This book, with it's intriguing tales, should be on every family's Christmas present list.'

Caspar Sloane, Country Quest


'This book tells of some of his encounters with Other World entities, in an easy, readable style that will appeal to young and old, the converted and the sceptic alike.'

Two Worlds


'A well-written and entertaining introduction to just how normal these unusual events are.'

Church Times


'After reading Holy Ghostbuster, fictional ghost stories will never be the same for me again.'

Robert King, Cwmnedd Press

Fascinating compilation. Wonderful to know how willing Roberts is to collaborate with whomever - Psychic, Medium, Spiritualist, etc. who might be helpful in each instance to provide a successful resolution to the challenge at hand. Interesting synchronicity in the names. Re: Aelwyn and Elwyn. Excellent in the documentation of details and in the variety of accounts.

A fun read with entertaining paranormal experiences. Narration takes some getting use to and I was expecting more spooky/mystical paranormal experiences.

This book is simply written and yes there are some very interesting stories in it, but the names of places, and people is just to annoying to me as I'm not familiar with the area's he is talking about or the pronunciation. I'm not sure what I was expecting here but this was definantly not it.
