OutsmartYourShelf

Pickpick

Following divorce, Matt Blake moves house into what he hopes will become somewhere warm & welcoming to build new memories with his daughter. What he gets is radios & showers turning on at random, noise of footsteps when no-one is there, strange smells, & an odd 'heavy' atmosphere that almost every visitor notices.

As a journalist, Blake knows how to investigate a backstory so he looks into the history of the house & (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf finds out that it housed the 'E17 Nightstalker', a man who committed several rapes & a murder in 2009. Although the Nightstalker is now in prison & not deceased, it feels almost as if the house is haunted by his presence & his crimes. Blake embarks on a scientific quest to investigate the paranormal, including contacting the Church of England's Deliverance Ministry, psychologists, & even speaking to others who live in haunted homes for answers. 4h
OutsmartYourShelf This was a fascinating read. As someone who has had probably more than their fair share of paranormal experiences, I was interested to read the different theories on what causes 'hauntings' although I didn't always agree with them. I thought this was a well-written factual account of the author's experiences. 4🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Elliott & Thompson, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

This is a really creepy story. Charlotte goes for what she thinks is a typical babysitting job but instead gets caught in a murder mystery 🐈‍⬛

The section about lighting is the literary version of my current search for a new bedside lamp. (How dare my old one die!)

TheBookHippie In the same boat… 7mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I thought I found a solution… then my mother wanted one, and no to turn on one is to turn on the other and she wants it off when I need it on. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 7mo
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I had an old tiny lamp I used since the 80s it died Sunday 😝 7mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie oh, now that is heartbreaking! Thank you for your long and storied service, lamp. 7mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie mine still technically works… I think. The light bulb went out, so I replaced it and it still didn‘t work. So I got all new bulbs. None of them worked. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Mine is only 4 years old I think, but man I used that thing every day and how am I supposed to sleep now?! It was the light I put on before I went to bed. 7mo
TheBookHippie Right?!?! Mr BookHippie is like just leave the big light on 🤣😝 he travels most weeks … 7mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie no, if it‘s too bright I‘ll never actually go to sleep. 7mo
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics my exact words 🤣 7mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie it‘s a very delicate balancing act of light enough to see, but not light enough to keep you awake. 7mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I would just like to update. The lamp I got (pictured) is adorable and perfect. The lightbulbs (also pictured) are not amber until you turn them on, and they are so bright they are not hyggely at all. 7mo
