The current popularity of such television shows as Ghost Hunters and Ghost Whisperer indicate the increased interest in and desire for information on ghosts and the paranormal. This follow-up to Mystery of Reincarnation: The Evidence & Analysis of Rebirth attempts to address this need. Written by Danelek, an author who enjoys presenting alternative views and theories on popular subjects, the book provides a basic foundation on ghosts-what they are, how they can be contacted, what a haunting is, the nature of malevolent spirits and demonic possessions, and the psychology of ghosts-while also defining a number of different ghost entities, including the unaware ghost, the denial ghost, the attached ghost, and the jealous ghost. Although the content is certainly interesting, discrepancies in the advance proof between the table of contents and the section or chapter titles in the text itself can be confusing; one hopes these errors will be corrected in the finished book. Suitable for public libraries with New Age sections and for subject-specific collections on New Age topics.-Brad Eden, Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas Libs. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
