⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Needed this for my research. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Glad I finally picked this up.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
Added this to my reference shelf. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Was skeptical at first. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Great value for what you get.
Orr provides a comprehensive look at the unseen residents of the USS Yorktown, bridging naval heritage with supernatural investigation. While the research is meticulous, this volume may not suit skeptics who dismiss spiritualist claims outright or readers seeking rigorous academic analysis over anecdotal accounts. Those looking for high-octane horror narratives might find the tone too grounded in historical documentation. However, for those open to the possibility of spectral presence, it offers a detailed chronicle that respects both the ship’s history and its reported hauntings, making it a valuable addition to collections focused on paranormal heritage.
