Customer Reviews

NOT THAT IMPRESSED
I didn't think this book was very credible, especially when Derek claimed to see the spirit of Mary Queen of Scots - too convenient! I haven't seen any of his TV programmes but if I was a complete sceptic this wouldn't convince me. I'd love to have a reading with Derek to see if he really does have these powers.

enlightening and entertaining
I'm a fan of 'Most Haunted'and have always been a bit curious about Derek Acorah's part in it, when he is often taken over by spirits etc, and talking to Sam. I wondered if he was just a failed footballer looking for another way to make his name and money. Having read this book, I am now a big fan of his! He explains his first encounter of seeing a spirit, and how he grew up with this gift. He tells some facinating stories of spirit encounters and how he is affected, and also tells you all about his relationship with Sam, who is his spirit guide. He tells a really funny story about how he gets pestered by spirits when trying to take time out from his work. I would recommend this book to believers and sceptics, and I bet even the sceptics would struggle not believe in the spirit world, even just a bit!!

insight into the other side
this is a must for any sceptic out there, the book is an easy read and hard to put down .
well worth purchasing and gives you an insight into how derek has travelled up and down the country even when he himself had doubts.
throughoughly enjoyable to read, simple short recollections of his past and who knows what the future brings.
