Haunted Stockton

Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. Every rereading turns up something I missed. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. A keeper.

Took a chance on this and glad I did. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Five stars from me.

This edition finally does the material justice. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.

Finally got around to ordering this. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Still worth having on the shelf.

I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Good, with the caveats above.

Grabbed this during a weekend order. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.

Exactly what I was looking for. Every rereading turns up something I missed. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Still worth having on the shelf.

Woodhouse delivers a compelling dossier that distinguishes itself through rigorous archival research rather than mere folklore collection. The text is best suited for readers who demand documented evidence and historical context in their paranormal studies. However, it may not suit those seeking supernatural thrillers or unverified anecdotes, as the author carefully avoids sensationalism in favor of analytical examination. Readers expecting light entertainment might find the focus on mass hysteria versus genuine activity too dry. Yet, for the serious student of spiritualism, the blend of oral tradition and historical fact creates a unique and authoritative perspective on Stockton’s haunted coordinates.
