"Apparitions, Ghosts, Hobgoblins, and Haunted Houses" is an intriguing work that compiles together several dozen extremely old folk tales involving hoaxes, misidentified animals, and strange but technically mundane phenomena of a chemical or atmospheric type. It seeks to provide a skeptics' explanation for some purported ghouls and cryptids through time.For those who practice the occult, or who delve into the mysteries of existence, this provides both entertainment and a substantial cautionary tale about being too believing in any particular paranormal tale.
