Excellent learning/teaching tool. Great for teachers or students. Set up in a workbook format. Good as a "refresher" course as well.

I had always believed in poltergeists. The more I read of them, the more I found the evidences were in their favour. John and Anne Spencer explore recent hauntings. They are careful to note the new things that poltergeists do: electricity (altering phone lines, television and the like) and 'perfect placement' of objects). They take a keen interest in what poltergeists do.

The aim of the book is to remind us that the phenomena is still there, up until the end of the century. Older cases from Roman times and the middle ages are mentioned, of course, but with less emphasis.

There is, in fact, something like a poltergeist not far from my home!

A great book for anyone with an interest of the life and stories of Josua Slocum.I have read & Re-read "Sailing Alone,Around The World". A natural extention, "Alone At Sea",discibes "situations",not before written about.
