Shadow World: Spiritual Encounters That Can Change Your Life

In a day when books on Ghosts contain references to infrared film, thermal camera displays and milligauss meters, Steiger's narrative style still shines above the competition. All the technical proof in the world doesn't convey the chill of a concise, well written paragraph that puts you toe to toe with the unexplained. In this book Steiger takes on the darkside. The book defines some apparition types that you have probably heard of before if you read this genre. Thankfully, it doesn't belabor them or get heavy handed about who sent them or exactly how to get rid of one.

If you're looking for some good old fashioned ghost stories and other spooky tales, this is the book. I read it in one sitting. That the stories are based on trued accounts makes it even more.....well....spooky.

When I bought Shadow World, I was looking for answers. Chapter six had everything I was looking for. This book was such a good read that I read it in one sitting. Great writing, with a style that holds your attention from word one until the last word on the last page. This book covers all of the topic of ghost with eye ball accounts from the people who have been there.

Have you ever experienced strange occurrences? Have you seen and heard things that go bump in the night? If not, have you ever wondered what may be behind such numerous tales down through the centuries? Once again, one of Brad Steiger's masterworks has been re-released, this one from 7 years ago. Again, in the style that has made Brad one of the primer researchers/writers on all things strange, Brad takes us on a fascinating journey into the unknown, this time on spirits...not benevolent, but this time malevolent. This non-fiction quest leads us on the path and questions all manor of where dark beings originate. We explore spirit contacts, poltergeists, animal spirits, nature spirits, spirit mimics and look into what makes certain people magnets that seem to attract entities from the dark side. If you love ghost stories (fiction), then read this some night before going to bed. This one is guaranteed to chill you to the bone, more so than any work of fiction.

Of all the people one may associate with in the course of a lifetime, the brightest and happiest among them are the ones who, perhaps due to their will to abide lawfully and in harmony with their surroundings, often maintain a strange attraction to darkness. Author Brad Steiger is no exception, and perhaps his extraordinary charity and goodness helped allow him to draw from the depths of the darker nature of our selves for his latest work, Shadow World: True Encounters with Beings from the Darkside. Steiger, having conducted research through five decades and across four continents, concludes that a richly populated Shadow World exists all around us; a haven for the things that man has instinctually feared since birth, and will continue to question until the end of time. As influential as he is eloquent, Brad Steiger is the only writer who has ever scared me, and yet that same fear has kept me glued to the pages of his books for as long as I can remember. For those of you who dare to be frightened by the strange truths Steiger will reveal in this latest work, in summary I must add this quote from T. S. Elliot: "Between the conception and the existence... between the essence and the descent, falls the Shadow." -Micah A. Hanks
