Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Great value for what you get.
This groundbreaking volume shifts the spotlight from haunted houses to haunted individuals, proposing Haunted People Syndrome as a viable explanation for recurrent paranormal phenomena. It challenges traditional ghost lore by presenting fresh global data through a multidisciplinary lens. However, readers seeking atmospheric horror or supernatural validation of spirits may be disappointed by its clinical focus on psychology and physiology. It is best suited for skeptics and citizen scientists interested in the mechanics of perception rather than those looking for eerie tales of specific locations. The rigorous framework is refreshing but demands an openness to scientific inquiry over mystical tradition.
