Will Storr Vs. The Supernatural
Will Storr Vs. The Supernatural: One man's search for the truth about ghosts | Will Storr
3 posts | 3 read | 13 to read
When journalist and ghost sceptic Will Storr heads to Philadelphia to meet Lou Gentile, a demonologist, he expects a little fun with an amusing eccentric. What he gets are terrifying experiences of spectral lights and horrific demonic growling - and all of his safe, adult preconceptions about ghosts instantly vanish. In the cold light of day, Will decides on a quest for the truth about ghosts. He meets professional paranormal investigators and takes part in sances and a vigil in the most haunted house in Britain, tries out divining rods and ouija boards, and goes on set with TV's Most Haunted. But Will also seeks out the sceptics in clinical psychology and philosophy who ask if spirits are really just in our heads. His journey is full of bizarre, terrifying and hilarious experiences, each one a new insight into life, death and what might come after.

Storr‘s efforts to determine if ghosts exist take him into a strange and quirky world of ghost hunters, mediums, exorcists, and demonologists. I appreciated the author doesn‘t overpower the reader with his opinions. He brings the reader along for his journey and explains his beliefs based on his experiences. He‘s respectful of others even when he sees holes in their logic and methodologies. This was a fun and absorbing for me! 4/5

#AllHallowsRead #photoadaychallenge #scaryreads #notscaryhalloweenbook This is a nonfiction book written by a U.K comedian who set out to investigate the paranormal including demonologists in the US, mediums in England & paranormal researchers & tv shows. It's funny, it's always irreverent but it's also well researched & gives credit where credits due. I really enjoyed reading this, especially the part where he takes the piss out of Most Haunted!

BekahB Oohhh this sounds fun! I may download this and read it on my flight home tomorrow. 😀 8y
