What are ghosts? Why do some people insist they are not real, while so many of us have a story of a spooky encounter in our own lives?
Perfect for kids who are just getting into horror, this book investigates ghosts from every angle, with a mix of atmospheric artwork, intriguing photographs, and downright scary illustrations.
Read the real stories behind ghosts such as the Flying Dutchman; investigate haunted houses; find out about famous fakes, learn the tricks ghost hunters use to uncover evidence of paranormal activity and the experiments parapsychologists use to ask: are ghosts real, or merely figments of the imagination?
Alex Frith (Author)
Alex Frith has been writing Usborne books since 2005. His diverse output covers such titles as 'See inside Your Head', 'Stories of Thor' and 'Politics for Beginners'. He has spoken at multiple festivals about his book '100 Things to Know About Space'. Alex can be found in London.
Darran Stobbart (Author)
Darran spent a decade as children's bookseller in Durham. They studied crime scene and forensic science at university. It's handier than you'd expect. They collect useless facts, and write about lots of subjects - especially science. They are passionate about stories, music, and will talk about octopuses at great length.
Keith Robinson (Illustrator)
Keith Robinson loves illustrating children's fiction. Getting lost in a good story and expressing the characters, setting and atmosphere through drawing is still the best kind of escapism he knows. His work is informed by a love of nature, myth and history. Keith lives with his wife and two children in a woodland cottage near the seaside town of Lyme Regis. He works from his studio in the garden. Everyone else calls it a shed but he insists that it's a 'studio'.
