Anything to do with military history, from the Roman Empire to World War II & beyond, is a must-read for me, & I also love the paranormal so a mix of the two was too good to pass up. The book is called Haunted War Tales but a large section of it deals more with cryptids such as Sasquatch rather than ghostly goings-on. Still very interesting but not what I was expecting at first glance. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf I still found myself going down rabbit holes with this book though. The argument that there are national parks so vast in the USA that some areas are still unexplored or inaccessible & so who knows what is out there is intriguing. (Cue X-Files theme) On the other hand, most sightings here are in the midst of stressful situations or in isolated places which can lead to the mind playing tricks. 1mo
OutsmartYourShelf On the subject of the hauntings, I'm slightly less sceptical as I've had experiences myself which are not easily rationalised away.

Overall I found this a fascinating read, & I've added some of the books mentioned in this one to my TBR list for later reading. It's written in an accessible way, easy to follow, & the author presents the evidence for & against without trying to influence the reader one way or another.
