Product Description
Having conducted research through five decades and across four continents, investigator Brad Steiger concludes that a richly populated Shadow World exists all around us. When it impinges on our ordinary plane of shared reality, this dark dimension is sometimes frightening, occasionally menacing, but always worthy of cautious exploration. Spirits of the dead are but one of the many types of beings that inhabit the Shadow World. Others appear to be multidimensional beings, some of whom may be benign, while others seem to be cosmic tricksters or troublemakers bent on mischief. And unfortunately some of the beings that seem to have our best interests at heart may in fact have entered our world with the intention of possessing our bodies or capturing our souls.

 Very Good. August 4, 2008
If you are new to the world of hauntings and psychic phenomena, you will find this book very informative and interesting.
If you have read extensively on the topic, you will enjoy the first half of the book. The second half will become tedious. Good read, but it won't have a permanent place in my collection.
 Good Campfire Stories, But That's All March 12, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been reading accounts of hauntings and such for some years now. This particular book although calling itself "True", is nothing of the sort. Go no further than the "Sacred Places of the Deiform Spirits" chapter to see my point. It does make a good bathroom reader but if you're looking for solid accounts of actual hauntings, you're barking up the wrong tree.
 GREAT BOOK January 25, 2008

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.
What you get, is not always seen October 9, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.
A Journey into What Goes Bump in the Night August 30, 2007
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
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.
