review 1: If you know anything about Dan Aykroyd, then it will probably come as no surprise this book was written by his father. What may come as a pleasant surprise, however, is that this book is nowhere near as hucksterish as something I'd expect Dan to crank out. While Peter makes his biases towards his belief in spiritualism known, he doesn't skim over the rational explanations for the phenomena he presents. In fact, probably the most fascinating parts of this book are those in which he details the methods mediums used to fake results.
review 2: This is a fascinating story of several generations of a well-known and respected Canadian family's connection to the world of seances and otherworldly things. The origins of "Ghostbusters" is revealed. The author also give... mores a timeline of personalities and trends in the search for the unseen, along with notes, remarks, and an excellent bibliography on paranormal subjects. It's also quite entertaining. I was enthralled throughout a week of hot sticky summer nights, and recommend it highly. less
