Haunted World

Paranormal expert Theresa Cheung shares 101 of the most mysterious and spooky true stories of hauntings from around the world together with the latest afterlife science and research, providing fascinating insight into our never-ending love affair with ghosts.

Belief in ghosts is surprisingly common worldwide. Mysterious glowing orbs, unexplained chills, things that literally go bump in the night: signs of paranormal activity have reportedly surged during the pandemic. As have specialist investigators, organised ghost hunts, eerie podcasts, TV shows and reports of everyday hauntings.

Sharing the details of some well-known and particularly mysterious hauntings together with some less-well-known tales and personal stories from her readers and listeners, Theresa explores these ghostly encounters through four categories of hauntings: residual, poltergeist, inhuman and intelligent.

With an introduction to modern parapsychology, a look at the latest science that digs deeper into our never-ending love affair with ghosts, psychic-themed self-help advice and ghost hunting tips, Haunted World is a timely and entertaining journey through the thrilling world of afterlife research.

    One issue that crops up for both the viewers and the producers of these shows has to do with location. As the shows take on-screen talent to haunted places, the producers are
    constantly on the lookout for ‘new’ haunted places to keep up the interest of their viewers.

    There's something oddly fascinating about watching paranormal documentaries/books—the kind that send a chill down your spine and make you question every creak and shadow in your own home. Even if you're terrified of ghosts, there's a strange thrill in embracing that bone-deep creepiness, like you're willingly stepping into the unknown. It's not just about the jump scares or eerie footage—it's the suspense, the mystery, the idea that maybe, just maybe, there's more to this world than we understand.
