Customer Reviews

Great Read

Wonderful stories! I read this book on a long road trip and did time fly-I was completely enthralled. I highly recomend this book. I wish it had been around for my childhood slumber parties!

A chilling collection of true-life encounters

The collaborative effort of Ginnie Siena Bivona, Dorothy McConachie and Mitchel Whitington, Haunted Encounters: Real-life Stories Of Supernatural Experiences is a chilling collection of true-life encounters with the paranormal. A wide variety of men and women relate the strange happenstance and personal experiences that defies explanations of natural law, evoking fear, wonder, and restless curiosity. Highly recommended for readers with a taste for individual tales of ghosts, ethereal spirits, and laments from beyond death, Haunted Encounters is a welcome addition to personal and academic Metaphysical Studies reference collections and reading lists.

Fascinating

Haunted Encounters entertains the reader from start to finish, which is what any book read in leasure is supposed to do. Having had no personal experience with the world of deceased spirits, I approached, and left, the book with "open-minded skepticism" in the same way as I would a book about flying saucers or the Bermuda Triangle. However, many other sources attest to the veracity of communication with departed spirits. I suppose one of the most famous is found in the Old Testament that describes the incident when Saul, the king of Israel, induced the medium at En Dor to call up the departed spirit of the prophet Samuel. Books about ghosts cut across all cultlures. Bivona's book is one of the best.

Chills in the Hot Summertime

Want to "chill out"? This book gave me a real chill out session. And was perfect summer reading. Some of the tales were scary and some were awesome but all were entertaining and believable. I really liked the fact that all were personal experiences from the contributors, and I felt like I knew many of the lives and stories involved. It was a well-written, well-presented book and most interesting. Way to go, Ginnie, and thanks for bringing in such a great collection!

Entertaining and informative

I purchased a copy of this book and wasn't sorry. It's an entertaining and informative anthology in the vein of the Chicken Soup books; some of the stories may even make you cry. If you like John Edwards' and James Van Praagh's TV shows, you will love the information in this book. I understand there's a second anthology in the works and will be one of the first to add the next one to my collection. Get yours now.
