This book covers a wide range of stories in the paranormal. This book discusses hauntings, demon possessions and folklore. Joel did his research with the stories in this book. If you want to explore the unknown and brush up on some spooky stories this is the book for you.

There were some stories in this book that were new to me such as “The Cock Lane Ghost” and “Slender Man”. Some stories that I’m familiar with “The Abraham Lincoln Hauntings” and “The Green Children Of Woolpit”. There were some stories that shed light on some hauntings and folklore that is widely known.

There was one story in the book that was labeled as a probable hoax titled “Operation Stargate” this story is about the military using gifted people for remote viewing to different locations. This gift was used to obtain unknown information behind enemy lines. The gifts they used is what is know as being A clairvoyant is a person who is believed—or claims—to have the extrasensory ability to "see" information, objects, symbols, or events that are hidden from normal physical sight. I disagree with all the shady dealings of our government I don’t put nothing past this. I believe this story happened.

Definitely a book that I recommend for the readers that love the unknown mixed with mystery.
