Ghosts
Jim Pipe
- Reading
- Read together if the spooky subject matter may prompt questions, pausing at the ghost-hunting and camera sections to weigh possible explanations. You could leave the quiz for a time when its sleep-related prompts feel comfortable.
- Themes
- How to interpret strange events: The book considers whether a night-time noise is the house settling or something more, and includes sections on ghostly camera images and tricks of the light. It invites readers to consider explanations for unsettling experiences rather than presenting every apparent ghost as proof of the supernatural.
- Worth knowing
- Ghosts, hauntings, night-time noises and “terrors of the night” give the book a spooky focus; its quiz also raises the possibility of worrying about noises while drifting to sleep.
