"Fusing fearsome non-fiction facts (or are they…?!) with an investigative approach, this invites readers to delve deep into the world of ghostly detection."
Part of the Real-Life Mysteries series that melds non-fiction with a reading for pleasure ethos, Tales of Ghosts and Hauntings takes an engagingly unique investigative approach to exploring an age-old, all-important creepy question: do ghosts really exist?
Split into six case study-style chapters, readers are invited to do deep dives into the eyewitness accounts of folks who’ve (allegedly) experienced creepiness in the Cairngorms (such as seeing monsters in the mist, and spirits on summits), and had petrifying palace encounters around the globe, with other chapters covering demon dogs, ghastly ghost ships and trains taunted by terrifying hauntings.
During each case, readers go into detective mode through picking up investigative skills like gathering and assessing evidence, evaluating the validity of eyewitnesses’ accounts, and comparing theories, with boxes highlighting key terms every spook-sleuth needs in their investigative arsenal. Developing critical thinking skills has rarely been so engaging.
