“I liked this book a lot. It gives you pictures of paranormal things, like poltergeist, ghosts, etc. With each picture is a description of what is happening in the picture. One of the main reasons I like this book, it that the author doesn’t try to prove everything. Its all up to you. The pictures are amazing, and they make you think.”
This is a really great book that I would highly recommend to anyone. And if you haven’t already read his earlier book, I would recommend it as well.”

“With the ability to manipulate photos it is hard to believe many of these examples. And as for the Virgin or Jesus appearing on things, I think you see what you want to. Maybe that bearded face is not Jesus but a slimmed down Jerry Garcia, perhaps they have gastric by-pass in the afterlife.”

“I follow my local library’s new books in circulation via an RSS feed. So when the book The Paranormal Caught On Film by Dr. Melvyn Willin showed up, I though it might be a fun few hours of reading. In reality, it wasn’t much more than about 90 minutes of pictures and commentary that in the end didn’t do much more me one way or the other.
The book is 141 pages of pictures and commentary on photographs that purport to show paranormal activity or beings. They are classed into the categories of Ghostly Figures, Strange Lights & Apparitions, Simulacra, The Unexplained – Poltergeists & Other Phenomena, and Back From The Dead. The layout of the book is small, usually with a picture on one page and the commentary on the opposing side. To Willin’s credit, he doesn’t attempt to defend each and every picture as authentic. In fact, he usually states the case for both sides of the argument of “staged” or “real”. It’s even more surprising given that he’s a paranormal researcher, and you’d expect some bias towards one end of the spectrum. The pictures range from old turn of the century shots to camera phone clicks that ended up showing more than the phone owner originally saw. Based on what type of picture it is, Willin is realistic as to what normal events could have happened to create the image. Some are very explainable, while others are much less so.
While the pictures were interesting, ultimately the book didn’t do much for me. I’m more than willing to be open to the existence of “paranormal” phenomenon, so it’s not as if I disagreed with the writer. I think it was more along the lines of the book being small, and the writer never really coming down on one side or the other on many of the images. In the end, I felt like I was looking at someone’s personal photo album with a few comments thrown in. For a library read, it was good. But if I had paid money to purchase the book, I think I would have been very disappointed. “
