The perfect book for the spooky, eerie, weird, creepy, horrific and all-around paranormal fan. Join a gang of intrepid ghost hunters as they explore haunted houses, try talking to ghosts, learn about strange mysteries from around the world, and visit a parapsychology clinic to learn about the truth behind it all.
Watch out! Some flaps will make you jump out of your skin. Others will open your mind to unexplainable events. And others still will reveal the hidden truth behind certain stories and things that are, perhaps, not quite so para-normal after all.
This book covers a huge range of paranormal concepts, such as ghosts, poltergeists, time slips, telepathy, alien abduction, spirit boards, spirit mediums, cursed objects, haunted locations, mythical (and perhaps not-so mythical) monsters. You'll also learn how real scientists hunt for evidence of the paranormal, and run tests to see if there are explanations for why so many people report seeing ghosts.
