Peter Brookesmith
Autore di UFO: The Complete Sightings
Sull'Autore
Peter Brookesmith first sat on a horse when he was three, but he did not learn to ride until his late twenties. His real interest in horses was kindled when he found himself living on a Welsh farm, surrounded by them, and began to learn about their nature at first hand. Peter still lives in Wales, mostra altro with his wife and step-daughter, a cat, and several horses. Peter has written an eclectic series of books on such subjects as art, UFOs, firearms and plagues, diseases and parasites, and has contributed to Mitchell Beazley's encyclopedic The Life of Horses. This is his first full-length book on equines. Technical contributor Lizzie Hopkinson trains dressage horses and has ridden for Great Britain as a member of the Young Riders' dressage team. She works in film production. mostra meno

I enjoyed the stories and photos, but the best thing about the book for me is the fact that it remains neutral about each case. All information is presented, even facts from skeptics and debunkers who have over the years presented information against the veracity of these alleged hauntings. I found the information on Harry Price, a famous supernatural investigator who studied the rectory in the 1930s, to be very informative. Price was actually outed as a fraud in the 1940s following his death. I've been hearing the story of the Borley Rectory for years, but never read about several books published after his death that pointed out his shenanigans and blatant fakery during investigations.
All in all, this was an entertaining book. It's visually appealing. The cover is appropriately dark and spooky. I had read about most of these places or events before, but had never seen photographs of locations and people involved before.
Very enjoyable book!… (altro)
