True Paranormal Hauntings: 12 Stories to Give You Goosebumps

A great collection of the Paranormal

True Paranormal Hauntings is a book that covers a vast range of paranormal topics. That is what I like about this book. It doesn't focus on just one thing, like hauntings, but includes a variety of arcane events and topics. You go from the Devil's Stomping Grounds to Black Eyed Children. It reminds me of the old Leonard Nimoy TV Show In Search Of. Never on just one thing, but an ecletic gathering of odd things. 12 stories is a perfect number, too. I got the book this morning, and was able to listen to it in about 2 hours time. Good for a jaunty car ride, or when cleaning around the house.

Robinson narrates the topices like a seasoned pro, and reminds me of when Robert Stack would narrate Unsolved Mysteries. He has the same way of conveying information, he mesmerizes you with his inflections and the way he drives the points home.

This is a great book for travelling or listening to when you are home alone.

Haunted America

As a recent North Carolina transplant I was excited to hear some local lore on some places I need to go to. I immediately started googling the Devils Tramping Ground after hearing about its allure. Next place I plan to visit for sure. I really enjoyed listening to these stories. I wouldn’t really call any of them scary but it was neat to hear about paranormal happenings. I felt like a twelve year old listening to my neighbor tell me about the spooky house up the street while we were having a sleep over. Definitely a fun listen.
The whole book reads as your typical spooky places to visit in (fill in state). Love learning about local lore and paranormal happenings. Adds another check mark on my map of places to go visit. These stories were fifty fifty on ones I had heard and ones I hadn’t. Happy to say that the stories I had already heard were told as I heard them so I assume they are as truthful as paranormal and bizarre stores can be.
Mike Robinson did a great job with the narration. As this book is more matter of fact versus actually story telling he did a great job. His narration was perfect for this book and he lulled me into each story. As soon as this was over I was thinking, I need more.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

True paranormal

I enjoyed this book. The devils circle is the only one I have heard of before.
Some of these stories most people would not believe to he haunted or paranormal but would try to explain it away but I believe in ghosts and paranormal happenings. I have followed a ghost before not knowing it was a ghost. I recommend this book.
I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator.

Creepy but not overly so

The stories in the book reminded me of the show "Fact of Fiction". Creepy, but not overly so. The narration keep me captivated and kept me wondering if the stories being told had really happened. It was a quick listen, but don't do it near bedtime! This is definitely one to pick up.

This review copy audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge.

Loved it !!!

This is a great book the only problem is that it's way too short for an audio.
I know of many authors who created box set of their short stories that wouldn't sell till they have done so.
There is nothing wrong with the story, it's just that the membership is about $15.00 a month for 1 credit and nobody will use that credit for such a short story no matter how great it is.

The 12 stories are awesome and well written.
The performance is perfectly done.
My only recommendation for the author is to combine a few of his books into at least 7 plus audio hours.
Other then that I could have kept listening to those excellent written stories for ever.
Truly beautifully done, I loved it so I can't not recommend it.

love hauntings

Where does True Paranormal Hauntings: 12 Stories to Give You Goosebumps rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top story. I listened to it 3 times.

What was one of the most memorable moments of True Paranormal Hauntings: 12 Stories to Give You Goosebumps?

I would not say I got goosebumps but I felt unease about the 2nd chance at life. Because I am too waiting for an organ transplant. Knowing that personalities could change a person who receives a transplant ????? that kind of worries me.

Have you listened to any of Mike Robinson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no, not that i'm aware of.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Any additional comments?

I love hearing about ghostly stories of real places. However I would never visit any because I am a big believer and I might be easily target to the ghost or demons. I am very open minded and it wouldn't take much to freak me out.

Creepy

Creepy story period. I am not usually one to read, much less listen to, these types of books, but I did. The writing is good. The narrator does a good job of enhancing the 'creepiness' of the story. I enjoyed the timber of his voice and the cadence of his narration.

Okay but....

The stories were okay; some were a bit scary while others were benign. If you look for stories like this then you might already recognize some of them. The writing could use some work as certain phrases and adjectives are used repeatedly. Also, the narrator was trying too hard to be creepy. That tends to be the fashion with ghost stories while I’d rather they just read them in a normal voice.
