Chasing Ghosts

Do you believe in ghosts? Do you NOT believe in ghosts? Are you interested in the intrigue around ghosts? Well, this book is for you. I will begin by saying that I do believe in ghosts but am also a huge skeptic. I believe in basically everything paranormal, cryptids, aliens, and the rest. However, if you were to provide me with proof, I would consistently try to poke holes in it and not believe. I LOVE watching ghost hunting shows, but also think they are mostly full of shit. So, this book was for me.
This book will take you through the history books that we did not learn in school. From ancient civilizations, to seances of the 20's, to today's said ghost hunting shows. It covers the stories, the technology, the intrigue, and the debunks. At the end, I was a bit disappointed with how much was explained. I like the wonderment of such things, however, there was just enough still unexplained that I wasn't too disappointed. The book is written very well and was easy to fly through. There are some amazing pictures, so I recommend a hard copy. I am now a Marc Hartzman fan and will be reading some of his other works.

Marc Hartzman does a fabulous job with this book! I absolutely loved reading through it! He talks about some of the better know hauntings, as well as some lesser known ones too - weaving in the information in such a way as to guide the reader.

He will discuss paranormal psychology, different aspects of the hauntings, but the book is laid out so thoughtfully, that even if you have heard of all of these places before - you are getting deeper in some places.
There were a few areas that felt glossed over, but that can be due to lack of information available, or space available - but I didn't feel like I lost out on too much.

Enjoyable and fabulous read! Highly recommend!
