⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Took a chance on this and glad I did. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Still worth having on the shelf.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. The historical context alone makes it worth the price.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Definitely recommend.
This anthology provides an engaging overview of Cape May’s supernatural landscape, successfully blending local history with contemporary spiritualist accounts. However, it is not suited for skeptics or readers seeking rigorous academic investigation into paranormal phenomena. Those who prefer scientific debunking or complex theological debates may find the medium-centric approach lacking in critical depth. The book is best appreciated as a collection of atmospheric tales rather than factual evidence. It appeals most to those already open to spiritualism and interested in regional folklore, offering a gentle, narrative-driven exploration of haunted locations without demanding intellectual rigor or challenging conventional beliefs about the afterlife.
