Description
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, this book 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?

He works from his studio in the garden. Everyone else calls it a shed but he insists that it's a 'studio'.
