Poorly written.
I tried to think of a more clever title but like the author, am at a loss for better words or ideas. First off, if a warning for the faint hearted, it's doubtful that person would make it through a Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon. Nothing scary, dubious mysteries and laughable analysis and conclusions from th he author. Example: Analyzing the disappearance of a bus passenger, he either jumped through a window of a 1950's era bus unnoticed, especially all the more ridiculous given the size of Windows, let alone the obvious whys and wherefore. Also the conjecture all the passengers disposed of him. I guess we should call the bus "Murder on the Greyhound Express. Just one of many examples in the analysis which also included salient points not included in the body of the story. Reader beware or caveat emptor.

Unsatisfyingly bereft of detail
The introduction to this book promises it will scare you. A puppy is scarier than anything written in this book. It skims the very surface of what could be some interesting stories but gives no real detail or investigation.

Disappointing
These might be good stories of fiction, if they were expanded upon. They might be good true mysteries, if they were more researched and documented. Just an example...there is historical documentation of the missing British soldiers ( in that event called World War I commonly). There were survivors. It was a merciless war, and many remains were found to to three years later. They had been slaughtered in an engagement with the Turks. No UFOs. No disappearing army. Just the grim, historical reality of WWI.

Complete Rubbish
It feels like the answer is trying to debunk more than he.is trying to enlighten us on our paranormal world. A book that literally lost my interest after the first couple of stories.

The stories include one from 1976 where a nanny and a young girl disappeared in an airport only to reappear soon after with no memory of what had happened to them. One story involves an Ouija board and, as expected, things don't go well.
Granted, there is no scientific evidence for the existence of ghosts, spirits, other dimensions or anything like that. There are many, though, that believe there are beings of some nature that either are evil or at least have a lot of negative energy and this type of being can be contacted through the use of an Ouija board.
The results are almost always bad.
Then there's stories involving Bigfoot, odd odors, strange lights, the disappearance of an entire British battalion, possible UFOs and other matters like that.
The book is quite interesting, reminding me of the old Frank Edwards books.

After reading the entire book, I felt like it was aimed more at middle graders. It starts with a warning about not being too terrified. There is nothing in this book that would be scary to adults, especially those living in 2020.
Many of the tales are familiar, but incomplete. It's like the tale fades away, then the author adds what she thought could have happened. It reminds me of story time at the library. It was okay for what it was, but I would have liked more actual story and less author opinion.
Some of these tales did have more content that wasn't included. Perhaps the author didn't research enough. Overall, it's a quick read that can be mildly entertaining. It's probably great fun for your middle schoolers.

An entertaining read
Some real gems here in the paranormal. Naturally a sceptic, some of these cases are hard to explain away. I enjoyed the book very much and will continue to read works by the author. The human mind is fascinated by the unexplained, and this book, very well written, is a treasure chest full.

Thought provoking!
Thought provoking. True? Fictional? I lean toward true, as I have experienced paranormal activity that tried to harm my adult son in an abandoned city hall he was helping to demolish and rebuild into apartments. Enough strange and inexplicable things occurred to result in my enlisting the help of a paranormal society.

These stories really are bizarre!
Finally a book where I didn’t know every story in it. Usually when I get a new book of unexplained phenomenon it is always stories I have heard already. Well in this book I only knew one story which blows me away the rest were new and so interesting. If you love the obscure and bizarre you’re going to love this book.

Eh
I'm glad this book was free or I would not have been happy. Its not bad grammar wise it just sounded like a bunch of campfire stories to try and scare you. Which it failed to do so.

Absolute waste of time. Who wrote this??? Poor grammar, lazy research and their theories?...laughable. Awful.

Short stories about mysterious goings on in the world. There were no concrete conclusions just guesses which is fine, but it felt like a child had written this book.

Good stories but not enough information or evidence to back them up.

I wanted more
The book is interesting and well written but there just isn't enough of it. Another chapter or maybe two would have been welcome!

Great stories
Great quick stories with insight into how they could have happened and why. Still no answers unfortunately but maybe one day.

Well whether you believe in these stories or not that is up to you. You read the book and decide, but keep an open mind.

Odd stories
Was great for a short Halloween read. Lost of haunts and supernatural events. All in all it was a good short read.

the stories in this were ok but didn't really draw me in. the analysis sections I skipped as they didn't encourage me to think further about these stories.

Interesting stories of the paranormal
Quick read of unusual stories of unusual events. Many of the incidents are unexplained. Many incidents occurred during the early 1900's and some occurred before then. A missed event was the story of a man instantly combusting in the 1950's.
