Gr 3–5—A hi-lo introduction to a few popular and contested myths, most of which are located in the United States. Four short chapters give brief examples of sightings and explain some commonly held beliefs and work done by researchers. Short text pages and facing photographs are often superimposed with small framed facts or questions for readers. Large labeled diagrams are peppered throughout, and each book has a map highlighting areas where the phenomenon has been reported. Charts indicate percentages of people believing in the paranormal occurrence. All of this is a very quick skim. However, the brevity and simplicity make some explanations vague; there is really no hint of the breadth of the world's ghost treasury. Students will enjoy the concluding "Believe It or Not" quiz, though.
