Ghost Stalker Two: A Psychic Medium Visits Europe's Most Haunted Castles

If you want to be taken seriously - get an editor.
Or at least a proofreader.It might make your book appear more credible.It's Hadrian's Wall - not Haiden's Wall, as the author referred to this historic structure repeatedly. This and other more routine typos made me wonder if such lack of attention to details carried over to any of the events described in the book.Her description of Chillingham Castle, especially, made me wonder if the castle is decorated in a creepy manner just to scare guests and she failed to pick up on this.Anyway, I hate to rate a book so low, but if the author doesn't take it seriously, I can't either.

Ghost Stalker Two
I give it four starts because there were no pictures in the book. Plenty of picture were taken and some even a bare bone two - four should have been included. Also, would have liked more in depth descriptions in some cases. An interesting read nonetheless.

Quick read with little impact
I was drawn to this book based on its title and concept; a psychic medium travels to various haunted locations and reports on her experiences. As I read the book, I was not lured-in by her investigations. She spends a lot of time discussing the history of each location, which is nice in terms of understanding the background, but the style of her investigations are based more on impressions than documented proof, such as capturing EVPs, or visual evidence through the use of video and photography.There are two styles towards investigating a haunted location. One is scientific in its approach through the use of various devices that measure the surrounding atmosphere. Typical devices are an EMF meter to record electromagnetic fields and a thermocouple to record ambient temperature fluctuations. Disturbances in these areas commonly occur prior to paranormal activity. The use of this equipment can help in documenting activity using audio, photography, or video equipment. The other style of investigation uses a psychic, or "sensitive" individual who listens to impressions perceived either through the surrounding environment or communicated by the psychic's spiritual guide.Ms. Whitedove's investigations are based solely on psychic impression. The way in which she documents each investigation is fairly consistent; she recounts the history of the location, visits the location, and walks us through her experience. It's a light and predictable read with little content that draws the reader into the experience. At no time did I feel frightened or even fascinated by her impressions. Ms. Whitedove simply tells us what occurs. To some this may be enough. If you're interested in what happens, then this may be the book for you. If you're looking to be drawn into her experiences and frightened at the same time, I wouldn't recommend this book. It's a short book and a quick read with little emotional impact.Being a paranormal investigator, I do admit to being somewhat biased by her approach. I would have rather seen her select a blended scientific and psychic approach towards each investigation. Based on her impressions, she could lead her team to capture evidence, which she could then share with the reader. To me, that's the most fascinating approach!

Its ok, for a start
I have been studying the world of the paranormal since I was roughly 9 years old growing up in my own "haunted house" I am now 36 years young, and have read allot on the subject and I cont. to collect books on the subjects...I find this book a bit more wordy on her were she went, her reactions, and little history. Its meat is not were you would expect it to be, in the stories which are short. I was left wanting more... maybe knowing that she is a gifted person, she didnt go into everything she knew I felt she kinda shorted the readers... it was like this in both works. Now you must understand that i have read this subject for years... so it maybe a good read for the beg. but not an advanced reader.

A Great Journey to Haunted Castles
This was the fourth book by Michelle Whitedove that I have read. It is a complete departure from her first two books. I was amazed by the depth of educational material that she was able to give on GHOSTS and other paranormal phenomena that she experienced during her trip to Europe. As an author and Psychic-Medium, it is great to learn the true facts from someone who can SEE and COMMUNICATE with spirits. She gives explanations to all of the questions that I always wanted answered: Are ghosts real? What are orbs? How do ghosts travel? Why do they stay in these places? Are hauntings a method of communication? etc. Plus I really enjoyed the way the book was written from the actual journal pages of her UK ghost trip. You feel as if you are there driving with her and experiencing these haunted castles. This is a fascinating account of her trip. It is not an "over the top" piece if fiction. But it is very believable and full of valuable insights about ghosts and why these souls refuse to leave their Castle homes. I highly recommend it!
