3.0 out of 5 stars Best for the uninitiated
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020

This book was not bad, but for me it was disappointing for the following reasons.

1. It was in large part just rehash of all the old classic cases that people who are in to this stuff will already know pretty well: Philadelphia Experiment, Mothman, Roswell, moon landing conspiracy, bigfoot etc etc. To his credit, the author presented some new pieces of some of the material that I had not seen before but not really anything that made a difference.
2. Much of this material is not fact based... the author raised a number of questions but had no answers other than to pose some ideas and suggestions, any (or none) of which could have plausibility.
3. This was not really excellent writing or editing as there were a number of grammatical errors and erroneous word choices (although I know we've all probably been confounded by auto correct a time or two. Perhaps I'm too picky but sometimes the quality of the writing reflects the credibility in my mind though I know that can be like judging a book by its cover.

The best thing I can say about this book is that it DOES contain a lot of cases and to those who aren't familiar it should seem very interesting and perhaps mind expanding.

2.0 out of 5 stars Decent, but nothing new

If you're new to the study of the paranormal, you may enjoy this book. There's nothing new or exciting here for someone who has even the most basic background in the field. It's a decent read, but that's about the extent of it.

I would have given it three stars except for a quirk that irritated me, and that was the author's (or the author's word processor's) constant use of italics. Words are italicized for no apparent reason, and it's like hitting a speed bump in the middle of a sentence. That's enough to cost the book a star.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book deserves to be read.
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017
The author states that these stories are cases that might have a supernatural explanation. These cases will also be familiar to you if you read a lot of "true paranormal." I think the fact that I enjoyed the book was because there were not many errors in grammar, spelling, etc. that are so annoying in some free and kindle limited books. The author states that he is thinking of writing a second book in the series. I am looking forward to reading it. I always like a fresh take even on the stories with which I am familiar. Give this book a chance even if you are a prolific paranormal reader. You might like his style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better For Young Adults
Reviewed in Australia on July 5, 2017

I give this 3.5 stars.

I'm not sure what to say about this novel, but I'm thinking it's a matter of personal taste as to how much you enjoy it. Interesting but definitely not strange, it seems to be a rehash of a variety of historical events with a paranormal twist and some urban legends. There are a lot of suppositions but really no new info, and I'm thinking it would be quite interesting for young adults who perhaps haven't heard about the stories as opposed to those of us that have "been there, done that".
