An enjoyable, high level skeptical review of ghosts, monsters, urban legends and UFOs. The book is well written and relentlessly (and refreshingly skeptical). I love the stories, and I want to believe, but this book does a great job of explaining why I don’t. A companions to the podcast “Spooky Science Sisters,” which I plan to add to my list.

I love reading about the paranormal, but I'm not really a believer. I mean, I'm religious, but I don't believe in ghosts and such (although I do believe in Bigfoot!). So, reading a book that breaks down each of these phenomena using scientific techniques was a delight! I was especially pleased that the authors didn't seem to have a really good defense against the Patterson-Gimlin film. That being said, this is a great book on the strange and spooky for the more scientifically-minded. But, don't worry: it's not written in a way that makes it too dry or too hard to read. In fact, I found it quite difficult to put down! And apparently the authors have a podcast...so I'll be checking that out for sure!
