Ghost Caught on Film 2 Hardcover – 25 Sept. 2009

I don't believe in ghosts, but am interested in faked and unexplainable 'ghost' photography. There is a fair bit of that in this book, and some of the images are very creepy and atmospheric. However, there's also an awful lot of 'filler' material - pictures that don't purport to be ghosts at all but are instead religious images or simply 'faces' spotted in objects. Flicking through this book passes some time but it's not of much interest to any real ghost/horror addict.

The book is a lot of fun and great for coffee-table quick reading. There's a mixture of genuinely weird, hoax, and other categories, and the layout and design of text and images makes the book engaging for all ages.

Great photos, even though you can never tell if they are real or fake...I still love this book

Blinking love it

All great, thanks.

Good book

Bought this cheaply after reading the reviews. One or two decent photos but mostly faked or chance photos of 'faces' in everyday things (smoke, wood knots etc). Pointless and very desperate attempt of proof of the paranormal.

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.
