[Lilith · Rating 3 out of 5]

An a to z book about the spirit world. . From hauntings to local folklore. Illustrated and an easy to read understand format. whether you are a true believer in the afterlife or just curious about where many of these beliefs started it is a fun and interesting read. Names, dates, places and even some "eyewitness" accounts where some of the most famous hauntings/apparitions happened. Also included, cases where science or others have "debunked" a supposed haunting and how tricks were used to fake many of these "supernatural " occurrences.
