Product Description
In addition to rounding up the usual suspects, including the Bell Witch, Borley Rectory, the monster of Glarris Castle, and Gef, the mongoose/poltergeist on the Isle of Man, Steiger has included much that is new for the dedicated ghost aficionado. The photographs alone are particularly fascinating.... Steiger’s new book is a mammoth undertaking that should be taken a few chapters at a time and savored the way one would enjoy a good meal in one of the author’s haunted restaurants. Everyone interested in our final destination, or just in need of a very creepy reading experience, should have a copy. – FATE magazine. This excellent collection of ghost encounters will both warm the heart and scare you out of your wits. – Library Journal. Do ghosts exist? VIP’s newest phenomena(l) offering, Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places expertly reports the evidence. Supernaturally written by renowned “ghost-writer” Brad Steiger—whose resume begins where Stephen King’s and Dean Koontz’s imaginations end—Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places is more than a collection of true ghost stories. Readers of all ages will find themselves plunked into the middle of the eerie action with captivating stories that would be at home at any midnight campfire. The only difference is these stories aren’t urban legends employing hooks, needles, or long, metal fingernails for their scare. These stories exist outside of the mind and live right next door to every one of us.

5 out of 5 stars Hauntings that are actually scary   December 7, 2006
 9 out of 10 found this review helpful

I own numerous books about ghosts, the unexplained, and the paranormal and a lot of them are tedious to read. Some, have proven down right boring. Others try and make everything seem so realistic and dramatic, that its nothing but awkward to read.

This book is NOT one of those. I got this book as a gift several years ago and have read it multiple times, and each time I get completely spooked and became afraid to turn out the lights. This book isn't filled with photos of "orbs" and stories about cold spots and phantom footsteps. This book features some of the most truely incredible hauntings ever recorded, along with lots of famous photographs.

Brad Steiger is a fantastic author (perhaps the best of the lot in his genre) and this collection of his most interesting cases are a must have for lovers of all things ghostly.



3 out of 5 stars It's a fun read....   September 26, 2006

While I enjoyed the stories within, I feel that some of them were stretched a little far, and the photo inclusions were, well let's be nice and say sophomoric. The stories are very engaging and well written, but it was obvious some of them were glorified urban legends. Despite all that, I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to those who enjoy reading about the paranormal.

2 out of 5 stars Dreadful, melodramatic, ripped-off flim-flam!   February 6, 2006
 28 out of 43 found this review helpful

I can't believe the audacity of Brad Steiger. It takes a lot of nerve, or very little honor, to publish a tome of obviously fake photos and ho-hum ghost stories that were admittedly lifted off various Internet sites.

Steiger has little respect for his sources: He rewrites their testimony into his own words, so that every single story and anecdote sounds the same. Not only that, but several phrases are used over and over--I lost count of how many times he spells out his wife's entire name instead of merely referring to her as "my wife" or "Sherry."

It's also frustrating reading about some spectacular photo his wife took, or that was given to him, that shows clearly some spectral phenomenon or UFO--and the photo isn't anywhere in the book. The photos that do appear are of the tired and debunked ilk of orbs, double-exposure photos, even one photo of a paper cutout head GLUED to someone's shoulder!

The only thing scary about this book is that it's supernaturally LAME.



5 out of 5 stars The Ghosthunter Gives This One Five Stars   January 26, 2006
 5 out of 11 found this review helpful

Brad Steiger has been a respected name in paranormal research for quite awhile and this book proves that he knows his stuff. It's a great collection of hauntings from all over the world and is a valuable addition to any paranormal library.

I am a Certified Ghost Hunter and writer and this book helped guide some of my own research as I wrote "Ghosthunting Ohio" and "Ghosthunting Illinois." Here's hoping Steiger has something new coming out soon.
