Ghosts & poltergeists

Meticulously documented, The South Shields Poltergeist is a truly terrifying account which details the authors' struggle with an invisible, malicious entity that threatened and intimidated anyone who dared to stand up to it. Their encounter may well go down in the annals of psychical research as one of the most chilling true-life encounters of its kind. The book details the authors' investigation, over a period of several months, into what they believe to be the most intense, protracted and well-documented case of its kind. A man had his torso slashed severely; knives, coins and other objects were thrown around; a woman received sinister telephone calls and text messages from numbers that were supposedly disconnected; and children's toys spoke to the investigators. The book is based on the testimonies of those who actually experienced the South Shields Poltergeist at first hand.

Reviews for The South Shields Poltergeist: One Family's Fight Against an Invisible Intruder

Books about poltergeist cases written by those who were there and witnessed some of the action are very rare. Investigators who witnessed as much as Mike and Darren did and manage to record a great deal of evidence are even rarer. This book is a welcome addition to the literature on the most bewildering phenomena we are ever likely to encounter. -- Guy Lyon Playfair If events happened as alleged, it was reasoned there would be a considerable quantity of documentary, photographic and other evidence available that would be consistent with the claims made in the book. This proved to be the case - I am of the opinion the South Shields poltergeist joins a small but significant collection of spontaneous cases where credible evidence has been obtained by investigators whilst disturbances were still occurring. -- Alan Murdie LLB
