Hey there friends!

I had a bit of a silly question, but I would love to learn more about the Paranormal, and I was wondering if there happened to be good books for that purpose around? Things like the Necronomicon (which may be Gobbledygook, or it could be spittin' facts, I'm not here to dsicuss/judge that), Flying Saucers and Other Mysteries of the Universe, Mysterious Monsters, or Wonderful powers of the Human mind (those last three I got in my Possession, alas in dutch or I'd easily scan and post the picture in a collection somewhere for those interested)
I preferably would like to look for books that can be called encyclopedic or that recounts stories of "witnesses"

I was hoping to fill a small bookcase with stuff like that, if not to learn of, just to have a good read atleast

Hope any of y'all can help this Ghostbuster out!

If you want to learn more about the ideas that influenced Dan Aykroyd's creation of Ghostbusters you should read the book Dan's father wrote "A History of Ghosts: The True Story of Séances, Mediums, Ghosts, and Ghostbusters."

Adding that it's a good start, but I'll warn you A History Of Ghosts is very dull.
I'm on my second attempt to read it and made it further than last time, but haven't picked it up in months.

You can also try:

Phantom Messages by William Hall
Psychic Photography: The Visual Proof by Hans Holzer
The Weiser Field Guide to the Paranormal by Judith Joyce
A History of the Undead by Charlotte Booth
A History of Spiritualism and the Occult in Salem by Maggi Smith-Dalton

I recently read Aykroyd’s book and really enjoyed it. However it read like more of an academic text than something casual and at times took some effort to focus. None the less, great read.

Hi everyone! For deepening your knowledge about watches, I highly recommend exploring https://blog.mozsly.com/ It offers comprehensive insights into mechanical watch intricacies, brand histories, and more. Additionally, consider checking out books like "A Man and His Watch" for stories behind iconic timepieces, and forums like Watchuseek for community advice and discussions

I am not fan of it. "The Wristwatch Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide to Mechanical Watches"* by Ryan Schmidt is my top one book

I have a great one for you, I picked it up on eBay for under $12 shipped! See the pics below for some good reading.

Hey, I've actually been meaning to start collecting that author's books! She has a couple Encyclopedia of... type books. Not just this one. There's one for witchcraft, demonology, saints, angels, monsters, etc.

There's one I've had on a shelf for decades, Dictionary of Ancient Deities by Turner & Coulter.

Looks like I need to pick that up when I get a chance. I want to combine my collection of screen used books and book replicas with some good references.

Totally recommend. I've used it for Ghostbusters research over the years like when they show up on RGB, EGB, the IDW comics etc. when I get curious to learn more about the baddie of the week. And even other movies, shows in addition to just googling. Very thorough index at the book, which is very useful since most of these entities have multiple names, avatars, and what not.

Yeah, I remember now. I've been waiting for the Encyclopedia of Monsters and Demonology hardcovers to pop up on ebay but not so far as I've seen.

"The Pyramid Mystery" by Peter Tomkins and Christopher Bird, which explores the unusual powers and mysterious properties of the pyramids. I've read it a couple of times. Now while I asked edit my essay I have time, I found https://ca.papersowl.com/edit-my-essay for this. I want to read something else while I have the opportunity. I can't find a good book on recommendations. One said the book is great, the second says don't read it. Is there something really wow about the paranormal?
Hope any of y'all can help this Ghostbuster out!

"The Book of Monsters" by Colin Wilson, which describes in detail various phenomena and creatures, citing the testimonies of eyewitnesses and researchers. I read it and then did not sleep at night.
