A spookily illustrated guide to the strange and mysterious world of ghosts.

What are ghosts? Why do some people insist they are not real, while so many of us have a story of a spooky encounter in our own lives?

Perfect for kids who are just getting into horror, Strange and Mysterious: Ghosts investigates ghosts from every angle, with a mix of atmospheric artwork, intriguing photographs, and downright scary illustrations.

Read the real stories behind ghosts such as the Flying Dutchman; investigate haunted houses; find out about famous fakes. Learn the tricks ghost hunters use to uncover evidence of paranormal activity and the experiments parapsychologists use to ask: are ghosts real, or merely figments of the imagination?

About the Author

Darran spent a decade as children's bookseller in Durham. He studied crime scene and forensic science at university. It's handier than you'd expect. He collects useless facts, and writes about lots of subjects - especially science. He is passionate about stories, music, and will talk about octopuses at great length.
