...a spooky and fascinating collection of unexplained photos. --Take A Break, Fate & Fortune Magazine

About the Author
Jim Eaton began studying ghosts at the age of ten when he confronted the noisy ghost in the attic of his family home. He started the website ghoststudy.com in 1999 to further his research and soon began to concentrate on photographic evidence because of the huge response on the site. Ghoststudy is now one of the biggest and most visited ghost websites on the internet.

Customer Reviews

Moderately good
Similar in presentation to the previous 2 titles, but most of the content is from US sources, so much is new (not all - some can be found on the net). Just about worth getting at this price if you want to see some good evidence without logging on to the net.

On one or two pics I think the editor might have applied more of his own "renown" sceptical scrutiny; a gaggle of alleged ghosts (dressed a la ghostbusters) peering in through a car window at dusk in a graveyard to checkout a new baby on the back seat! I mean come on.........

Aside for that its just about worth spending your hard-earned on. Otherwise you could get a cracking read from amy of the Peter Underwood titles here and scan the net for your own ghost pics!

Fun to view
A general photo book about what people to believe to be apparitions, as well as explaining how some images can be faked or even accidentally done by the photographer such as exhaling on a cigarette just prior to taking the shot. It's a great stocking filler for the holiday period and will interest those with a fascination in the paranormal, perhaps even a great Halloween gift such as us featuring it here. It will leave you questioning some pictures but its definitely a spooky experience for the reader and one that might help you capture that special image of your own.

Third book in the series, better than the first two?
Ghosts Caught On Film 2 is the third of these such books published by David and Charles but this is the first edited by Jim Eaton. All three of these books are a great addition to a Fortean book shelf simply because they present each picture in full colour printed on quality paper. In fact the presentation of all three books is bar none.

While the first two books featured photographs that I'd seen before, actually some photos I'd come across in those books I'd already encountered a debunk for, the third book presents all new photographs to me with the exception of two.

Again each photo is given it's own page and is printed well: some look real, some look like simulacra, some look like natural patterns in wood or shadows from lights and some look fake. Eaton includes a chapter with examples of how to spot fakes which may make you go back through the book a second time and apply the information he points out in that chapter.

Eaton himself offers no real in depth dissection of the pictures he presents (much the same as the previous two books by Dr. Melvyn Willin) but presents them to the reader to make up their own minds.

If you believe or not it's still nice to have pictures of these things that you can refer to by simply taking it down from your own bookshelf.
