What can I say, it's a collection of ghost stories that the author reports to have collected during service in the USAF and is presented as such. There's not much by way of verifiable information so these are firmly within the realm of "folklore" as opposed to anything that is going to convince people as to the existence - or not - of ghosts. The timing of the stories places them from roughly World War II to roughly the 1980s so the backdrop of the USAF during these periods of time is fairly interesting since the idiosyncrasies of military service is present as well. Indeed the writing is about what you would expect of a retired officer collecting a bunch of stories in one place - serviceable but you can also tell that the author also doesn't have much practice writing narrative prose. Bottom line, some fun stories and an interesting insight into what service was like in the USAF during the timeframes covered.

Great read!

This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I just couldn't put it down. Wish there were more like this book! The stories are well written and well researched and highly detailed. You feel like you are there experiencing the paranormal right along with them and it's really creepy. Loved every minute of it!
