[Unsolved ☕︎ Mystery · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book for free; I have a free 2 month trial of Kindle Unlimited. Woot!!

The stories are supposed to be from different people. I have a hard time believing that because they all read like they were from the same writer.

The first half, The stories were mundane and average. Boring in some places because it was the same style.
There are chapter titles separating categories.
My favorite and by far the scariest, which also seemed the most believable was the Ouija board category.
This category was towards the end of the book.
After reading about Ouija boards, I was officially creeped out.
I stayed that way until I finished the book.
As you can tell, the second half was better than the first.

Some stories had url links that linked to reddit. I liked this idea because I could go to the source for credibility.
If the editor took stories from people online, I wish he/she had urls for all the stories.
It would be helpful and the stars (from me) would be higher.

Good

This was a good read with a few of the stories very believable and some not so , and I didn’t read the part about the ufo and aliens as this doesn’t have anything to with ghost.

I loved it. It's an amazing collection of paranormal stories from people all around the world. Some of the stories are really creepy. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in paranormal things, or just in the mood for something scary.

What a great collection of creepy stories. I liked it how the author has not just used ghost stories, there are some terrifying tales of creatures that I’ve never heard of, I’ll be sleeping with the light on from now.

Pretty unbelievable

Sorry did not enjoy at all, too many loose ends, threads ,and various disconnected themes. Personally not a big paranormal fan, but if this genre is your preference, perhaps a recommended read.

I wanted to like this one because I usually enjoy ghost and supernational stories, but between the grammatical errors and the believability of most of the stories I just couldn't really get into it and enjoy it as much as I could.

Truly full of enigma and mysteries

This book is truly one of the best books I have read about the paranormal. It all rings so true. The universe is definitely one scary place.

[Sarah Huntington · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was OK at times. It wasn't especially odd or chilling and all of the stories sounded like they were written by the same person.

pretty good

I think some of the material was really good and some near the end not of the same caliber. Still not bad

Entertaining

A large collection of paranormal stories. My favorite sections are on dogman and missing time/glitches in the matrix. Lots of entertaining stories.

[Deb · Rating 1 out of 5]

Silly, boring and so many typos! The best part, and this is a line from a story, --It's an old house on even older property, dating back to before the Revolutionary War, around Civil War times. OMH, get the wars in the correct order!

What a load of rubbish

I've never read such a load of old tosh in my life. There are some seriously disturbed people out there .

[Melanie Atchley Robb · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting.

This is a book full of various paranormal encounters/experiences. These stories were all new to me, and some were pretty spooky. Others, not so much.
