Description
'A wonderfully entertaining ride' - Mark Gatiss, co-creator of Sherlock
'A brilliant book, engaging and filmic' - Reece Shearsmith, co-creator of Inside No. 9
'Scarily good!' - Danny Wallace, author of Yes Man
'The ghosts of today don't live in castles or stately homes, they're in normal houses and workplaces, witnessed by people just like you and me. But are they the dead returning from the "undiscovered country" of death, or the product of that equally mysterious location, the human mind?'
Danny Robins is on a mission to try to solve the greatest of all mysteries - do ghosts exist? This thrilling book tells the stories of ordinary people who have experienced extraordinary things and want to understand them. It is also a journey of self-discovery, as Danny explores what the paranormal means to us, and considers the exciting yet terrifying prospect that we are not alone.
From poltergeists and apparitions, to UFOs and strange messages from beyond the grave, Into the Uncanny is a page-turning real-life supernatural adventure. So, are you Team Believer or Team Sceptic - and do you dare to find out?
With a new and exclusive bonus chapter containing case updates

Most impressively though, he came second in the UK Air Guitar Championship (he was robbed) and he bizarrely once had a Number 11 hit single by accident. Ask him about it when you see him.
