Ghost Hunting: True Tales of Poltergeist Investigations

True Tales of Terror

by Michael Clarkson

Poltergeists--mischievous spirits, ghosts of the dead, or other strange energies--are said to be responsible for a good deal of unexplainable phenomena. However, often the only clues they leave to their existence are floating objects, broken or missing household items, strange noises, and other minor disturbances, always rendering the investigations of such claims inconclusive. Leaving room for both believers and skeptics, the author of this volume examines a smattering of reported poltergeist activity--from spooky to thrilling to playful--from around the world to better understand the nature of poltergeists and the likelihood of these seemingly paranormal occurrences.

Ghost Hunting: True Tales of Poltergeist Investigations, by Michael Clarkson, was an interesting read. This book details paranormal activities and occurrences that have happened in history. The paranormal activity happens mostly around young people with anxiety or other problems, and the most common show of this is furniture and other objects moving without help. Although the stories seem interesting, the writing in the book is hard to follow at some times, and can become boring with repetition. The author had a good idea and did extensive research, but failed to write it in a way that is not repetitive. Some other problems would be the issue of privacy for the victims, where at some times it is not clear if they gave permission to be in the book or not. Once the author even said that he was sure that enough time had passed and the victim would probably be okay. I would recommend this book to those who are studying ghost activity, or really like reading just the facts.
