Join paranormal expert and storyteller extraordinaire Hans Holzer as he explores ghostly manifestations of every variety and delves into the true nature of “the other side.”
In this groundbreaking book, featuring eye-opening photographs of ghostly apparitions and visitations, Holzer presents hundreds of case histories, tips on interpreting sounds and other signals from the beyond, and more.
Hans Holzer is a world-renowned parapsychologist and author of several paranormal books including Are You Psychic? and Ghosts, Hauntings & Possessions, in which we learn of Holzer’s earlier forays into the world of the supernatural.
His encounters with the undead are apparently never-ending. Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond is a gigantic volume, documenting almost 200 cases of haunted houses, ships, castles, and just about any place imaginable!
The cases are far more complex than just your average white-sheeted ghoul in the attic. Holzer examines the differences between “real ghosts,” who reveal themselves to living people, and psychic impressions, which occur to many witnesses, always at the same time and place.
There is also solid advice for interpreting paranormal signals, and even photographs of ghostly apparitions. This is an informative and must read!

The Complete Hans Holzer by Michael Way (Monrovia, Ca. United States)
Customers Rating:
“I like to refer to this book as the complete Hans Holzer because it appears to be compilation of his books mostly from the 60′s and 70′s, but the stories are still fascinating to read. If you want scary ghost stories, try something in the Michael Norman series, but if you want to read about actual investigations of hauntings, I highly recommend this book. A HUGE book with over 750 pages printed on high quality paper and lots of photographs, there is enough material here for at least three books!”
Fun book even for the skeptic by Atheen M. Wilson (Mpls, MN United States)
Customers Rating:
“Ghosts: True Encounters With the World Beyond by Hans Holzer is a comprehensive volume of the author’s extensive research into the world of ghosts, spirits, and poltergists performed over the past 30 or more years. Whether one believes in these phenomenon or not, the book makes interesting reading. While many of the stories have appeared in other books, Holzer adds interesting updates and background information which give them a new perspective. Of particular interest to me was the historical research done with respect to the life and times surrounding some of the occurrences. The author discusses the American Revolution and Civil War and some of the events of early European history as well as some of the central figures of these events. Where he is able, he also adds information about the history the specific houses and other buildings he inspected. He gives advice to the would be ghost hunter, and describes some of the mediums with whom he worked. It sounds as though Dr. Holzer had a fun and exciting career that has taken him all over the world.”
Excellent reading for those with inquiring minds by LillyDale (Quail Hollow)
Customers Rating:
“Good research, great stories (and plenty of them), make this worth purchasing and keeping. Not only will the extensive collection of incidents and hauntings hold your interest, the definitions of types of spirits and the Do’s and Don’t of encountering them are absolutely fascinating. And who knows, the information could come in handy one day! Informative enough to consider a study guide , but long enough to provide hours and hours of reading satisfaction. I have read my copy three times in five years, and always look forward to the next time.”
