The author hears about ghost stories, haunting, UFOs, and such, and he researches the information and how through years people encounter simular viewings. This is a interesting compilation of these occurrences. Narration is clearly done, explaining the incidents and situations.

I have listened to the Audio version of this book.
Another great selection of about 30 ghostly tales from in and around Sheffield from the pen of Adrian Finney. The stories are well written and entertaining keeping the listener glued to the book. I have listened to it twice in the last week to try and make sure I missed nothing! LOL! I particularly like the addition of "Final Goodbyes" and "The Myth of the modern ghost" at the end of the book, the first bringing back memories of personal experience and the second a kind of insight into Adrian's own thoughts. Pete McGiffen is once again brilliant in his narration adding drama and suspense to the telling. Highly Recommended listen.
