Without doubt the largest single volume on my bookshelves is Ghosts: true encounters with the world beyond by the prolific and extraordinary Hans Holzer, who passed on at the age of 89 at his Manhattan home on 26 April, after a long illness.

Ghosts – all 760 pages of it – is hardly bedtime reading. Turning its pages for half an hour is surely equivalent to an energetic workout with dumbells at the gym. Fortunately, a slightly lighter paperback version of this classic has recently been published. read more »

A new look

March 29, 2009 – 18:24

After much deliberation, I’ve decided that a blog-style website is going to serve our purpose far better than the former design of ParanormalReview.com, simply because it gives me more opportunity to comment on the people and happenings that are in the news, rather than simply reporting on them.

It also gives readers the chance to make their own views known. I hope you like this new approach. Be sure to click on the RSS feed symbol or e-mail option (on the right) if you would like to be notified each time my blog is updated.
