Aliens, Ghosts and Vanishings

Aliens, Ghosts and Vanishings - Stella Tarakson Had this book existed twenty-years ago, it would have no doubt been one of my favourites. Just shy of thirty, I’m still a pretty big fan.

I’ve had a lifelong obsession with the bizarre and unexplained, as a child often commandeering my dad’s A4, hardcover books about mysteries and the unexplained.

This book has far fewer photographs than those others did, but it also has a couple of big points working in its favour.

This book is accessible and interesting for younger readers, and is a lot easier to carry around than those A4 hardcovers.
These are all Australian based mysteries, teaching everyone a little more about the goings-on in their own backyard.

Categories included in this book:
- Mythical Creatures
- Mysterious Locations
- Haunted Places
- UFO Sightings
- Bizarre Disappearances
- Strange Happenings (including Phar Lap, Spontaneous Human Combustion, and more)
