Publisher's summary

Book one: Ed and Lorraine Warren: The Enfield Poltergeist: In the town of Enfield England almost 40 years ago supernatural occurrences would start a chain of events that would bring the world's most famous paranormal investigators, the Warrens, there to investigate.

Book two: Amityville: An Ed and Lorraine Warren file. Amityville has become a name that invokes images of death and supernatural horror.

Book three: The Exorcist: Father Gabriele Amoth: In this book you are introduced to the Vatican's top paranormal investigator and exorcist. The book also features a brief review of the case that inspired the greatest horror film of all time, The Exorcist.

Book four: The Borley Rectory: A Harry Price File. This book introduces you to the legendary paranormal investigator Harry Price. He helped to show the world that the investigation of the paranormal could be elevated to a respected science. The Borley rectory, before it burned down, was considered to be the most haunted place on earth.

Book five: Gaurav Tiwari: Death of a Ghost Hunter. Tiwari was well on his way to becoming one of the world's top paranormal investigators when he was found dead under strange circumstances. Being a paranormal investigator seems like fun, but death and how it may have happened has been a stark reminder that dealing with supernatural forces can be a life-or-death deal.

Book six, Hans Holzer: Paranormal Investigator or Ghost Hunter: Hans Holzer, in the end, he has to be looked upon as perhaps the man most responsible for making this field of endeavor mainstream.

Book seven, The Werewolf and Demon Trial: An Ed and Lorraine Warren File: The legendary investigations of Ed and Lorraine Warren continue with the werewolf investigation of Bill Ramsey. Also their investigation of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, a man who committed murder and who tried to use demon possession as his defense.

Book eight, Harry Houdini and Sir Authur Conan Doyle: Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are world famous. The thing not well reported about them was that they were well early leaders in the field of paranormal investigation. Houdini had a desperate need to know whether there was life after death.

Book nine: Montague Summers: Montague Summers was a priest, a writer, and one of the world's most interesting paranormal investigators. This remarkable little man was the true believer. Montague Summers believed in the power of witchcraft, and in actual vampires, demons, and werewolves.

Book ten: Sir William Crookes, Frederick Bligh Bond, Jason Conrad Hawes, and Grant Steven Wilson: Paranormal Pioneers and The Modern Investigator.

Reads like a padded high school research paper.

I don't recommend. This reads like a padded high school research paper.The content is just regurgitated snippets from many sources. Poorly written & read. Listening the audio really draws attention to the lazy writing and lack of editing.

Nothing To Move Me

When I listen to an audiobook, I want the book to move me....to teach me something new or to inspire me. This book did not do it for me. This is a collection of books, however, there were so many that repeated the same paranormal event in several of the books, without adding anything insightful or different than what it said in the earlier book....really disappointing. The narrators voice also just did not do anything for me, maybe he was bored with the book too?

GOOD BOOK W SOME GOOD INFO

I found the subject of the books highly interesting, and each "book" provided a lot of information about each of the occurrences, all of which were very fascinating stories. I love Ed & Lorraine Warren, so anything involving them is peaking my interest. It's not a complete comprehensive account, but it's some good info and I found it entertaining. All in all a good job :)

This was a good quick read.

A Little Repetitive

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This reference series based on facts and personalities involved in paranormal activities, is interesting enough, but I wouldn't suggest listening to all the books at once. The reason for that is the fact that it is not always clear when one book ends and the other starts and some of the information on experts and incidents are repeated in various books so that the narrative becomes a little redundant and repetitive. I happen to have met two of the investigators the books refers to, Ed and Lorraine Warren, at the time the Amityville case erupted. I was then working for an international chain of magazines that asked me to do an article on that event. We met with the Warrens for an interview and they were very cooperative but can only present us with theories at the time. This series doesn't provide much more than that. If you are looking for concrete proofs, you will not find them here. That said, the series is still interesting and the narration fine enough if a little dry.

Paranormal Investigators The complete Collection

This collection of books is based on an interesting and engaging subject. It includes a few of the major stories and people that have been mentioned by Hollywood and that have been in the news so much that they are commonly known. There is also some interesting information on witches and what many believe began the witch hunts of long ago. Alongside this there is some other information on lesser known people.

As much as I am intrigued by the subject matter discussed in these books much of the information is repeated in many of the chapters of the books. The narration is very monotone which makes it hard to enjoy the book. Many if not all the sources listed in the audio book seem to be Wikipedia and general websites. If you already have an interest in the paranormal you may know much of the information in this book but if your interest is new this book may be an interesting place to begin collecting your own knowledge of the paranormal.

Use the Internet Instead

I really had a hard time listening to this collection of books. I have been more entertained and engrossed by doing my own internet searches on the paranormal/supernatural topics. This book collection drops a few names and touches on some information about items used but I found myself skipping through the collection. The narrator is very monotone and, quite frankly, boring to listen to for any length of time. This is the first time I have ever given such low ratings. Generally there's something that will help up the ratings, i.e. the storyline, characters, narrator, etc. However, this book has none of that. If you truly want to learn about the paranormal or supernatural (beings, investigators, items used) then you are better off doing your own search on the internet.

GHOST HUNTING 👻

loved it one of my top 10 books on the paranormal and the subject of ghost hunting 👻

Too Much Repeated

This has a few interesting stories but not much of anything new. The book covers about ten or so investigators however they only tend to be ghost/spirit investigators. There's no coverage of UFO, cryptozoologists, or any other types of investigators. There are a lot of sections that repeat a lot of information from chapter to chapter. Some of the research uses Wikipedia as a source. In the Audible format, the narrator annoyingly reads sources that are web addresses that gets very monotonous.

Instead of a book, this series might work well as a YouTube video series. With the repeating information and poor formatting, this isn't something I would recommend. Where's the UFO section? Final Grade - F

stear clear..

this is a very bad buy. bad read. bad content and generally a waist of money.
