Before I received this book for review, I actually spotted it in the tourist shop of the beautiful Royal Pavilion (former seaside resort for George IV) in Brighton a few weeks ago. Thumbing through it I saw straight away that here was a book that set its stall out good and proper and I wasted no time getting in touch with Melvyn for a review copy. So, what did I think of this book?

As anyone who knows me will know, I always say it as it is. This book is a classic for all the 'right' reasons. Firstly the book sets it stall out straight away with no misconceptions by the author that we have to take each given photo with a pinch of salt, for the author knows all too well that we are living in an age of computer generated images where it is so easy to fake and manipulate an image to look like a ghosts however he quite rightly poses the question that prior to intricate digital software being developed etc, there were many pre-digital photos of ghosts of which questions should be asked. Can the camera lie? It sure as hell can.

As well as the camera lying, we have fraud and dodgy people out to make a fast buck by trying to pass off photographs of what claim to show ghosts, it would be a fool to think that every photograph of a ghost is the real deal, that's clearly not the case, but I'll tell you this, some of the photographs in this book have a bloody strong case for them being real, 'whatever real may be'!
