About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking about the things that go bump in the night or shows an interest in the supernatural. This Usborne guide offers a balanced, non-fiction approach to poltergeists, blending historical accounts of famous hauntings with logical, scientific explanations for strange phenomena. It is perfect for children who are ready to move from being scared of the unknown to being curious about it. The book encourages critical thinking by presenting various theories: ranging from the ghostly to the psychological. It helps bridge the gap between imagination and reality by explaining how things like trickery, mass hysteria, or even seismic activity can mimic paranormal activity.
