Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena from the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory in Books

Mar 15, 2018

Ghosts and the paranormal have always fascinated me. I keep hoping to discover that such things are real even though I can't help but doubt that they are. It is fascinating then that a major university like Duke at one time had a department focused solely on investigating the validity of these beliefs. The program and its founders have an interesting history, and it makes for a really fascinating read. I won't go into any details about what they do or don't discover, but it will certainly leave one wondering why there hasn't been more serious research into the fields these scientists were looking at since the program's end. Anyone who is even remotely curious about the supernatural should check this book out.

<i>And what would you do with Mr. Teal anyway?

Ghislains face softened. Get him to show me whats inside him.</i>

Gulp.

This story left me wanting more. I read through this so quickly and when I reached the end I was shocked that nothing else became of the story.

This was an enjoyable read. The perfect amount of creepiness and some excellent subtle paranormal things going on. I just need more of it! What happened to Barnes, the cow and what what was in that window seat? Why was Ghislain bonkers and living alone in such a large gorgeous house? What happened during the night? Was Cyrus really what he seemed?

So many question, no answers!

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Anthologies are always towards the top of my list of things to read, as you get many different stories at once, boiled down in neat, easy-to-handle packages. PDGA is a wonderful collection, and once I started, I couldn't put it down! There were several stories that I'd love to see extended into or followed up by larger works (if they haven't been already), and there was enough of a diversity that everybody should be able to pick a favorite. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves the paranormal, but may not have the time to sit down with an entire novel. Look forward to another of its kind!

Samantha Reece (16 KP) rated The Enchanted (Faerie Tale, #1) in Books

First of all, all I can say is what a beautiful and enchanting world Genevra Thorne has created with fairies and talking trees and all sorts of wonders.
Secondly, her characters are so well developed. I loved Taryn's free and playful spirit and Prince Gabriel's tough yet kind demeanor. Also, the way their relationship builds is just a perfect speed throughout the novel. I absolutely LOVED this book! Anyone who enjoys fairy tales and romance will want to read this. I cannot wait for the next one! So, go ahead and do yourself a favor: get The Enchanted and start reading. :) *I received this book at the GoodReads Lovers of Paranormal Group for free in exchange for a fair and honest review.*

Movie Rating

378. Lake Mungo. One of the better faux documentaries out there. It follows the aftermath of a teenage girls drowning at Lake Mungo during a vacation and the events that take place afterward. It comes from the land down under, so not recognizing any of the actors helped with the believability of the story, which gets pretty freaky. Without giving anything away... it starts off with a paranormal edge at first then something totally unexpected which is rare, then goes on to have another twist or two in there before the ending. Filled with interviews from friends, witnesses, even newcasts and news footage it does a really good job at convincing you what you're watching really happened. Filmbufftim on FB.
