Not overly impressed

Customer Rating:

There are some interesting photos in this book but I found quite a few instances where the author makes sweeping statements like 'mechanical failure can be ruled out' when discussing a blip on a piece of CCTV footage or 'why would a vicar choose to photograph someone dressed like they were wearing a Hallowe'en spook costume, and at the wrong time of year?' really naive and annoying. Machinery can develop faults at any time, and perhaps the vicar decided a bit more publicity for his church wouldn't be a bad thing? Double exposure, lens flare, bits of dust and moisture in the air and mechanical failure can explain A LOT of photographical anomolies (not all, I accept). Leaving a camera to take a long exposure can give a person time to duck into and out of a photo leaving a spooky blurred/ semi transparent image behind. But when all's said and done, if you're after a bit of light relief and a book to grace your coffee table at Hallowe'en, this book will probably put a smile on your kids face.

Entertaining and of high quality

Customer Rating:

This is a very enjoyable book. The photos are varied and highly intriguing. A few are famous ones and one or two thought to be fakes, whereas others are simply mysteries, with it seeming highly likely in many that a ghost really has been caught on film. The narration is excellent too; just the right length to read bit at a time, with intelligent analysis and historical background. All in all this is a super book and one which turned out to be even better than I had expected. Great fun, and eerie to boot!
