When journalist and ghost sceptic Will Storr heads to Philadelphia to meet Lou Gentile, a demonologist, he expects a little fun with an amusing eccentric. What he gets are terrifying experiences of spectral lights and horrific demonic growling - and all of his safe, adult preconceptions about ghosts instantly vanish. In the cold light of day, Will decides on a quest for the truth about ghosts. He meets professional paranormal investigators and takes part in s???ances and a vigil in the most haunted house in Britain, tries out divining rods and ouija boards, and goes on set with TV's Most Haunted. But Will also seeks out the sceptics in clinical psychology and philosophy who ask if spirits are really just in our heads. His journey is full of bizarre, terrifying and hilarious experiences, each one a new insight into life, death and what might come after.

Will Storr has written a great book about the paranormal, and the business of the paranormal. In his search for the truth about ghosts, he meets charlatans, mental cases, celebrity psychics, and, surprisingly, a few ghosts. Storr is clever and funny, and rightly takes a run at some obvious frauds, but he is also sympathetic to those who are being haunted and, against his natural smart-ass cynicism, finds himself rediscovering his own spirituality. Surprisingly this "man of worldly mind," finds himself repeatedly frightened in allegedly haunted houses. The book is, at times, hilarious, and, at other times, quite suspenseful. Overall, great fun and beautifully written.
