My review is for the paper book book
This book is about hauntings, witchcraft/the occult, mythological/cryptozoological creatures/beings of unknown origin & unknown species, I already know about a lot of the information in the book so, but there are some excepts that I didn't know about & I have never heard of before.
My favourites are:
Hampton Court (Tudor residence of Henry the VIII in England)

The Ten Bells Pub in the East End of London, where people have seen the creepy Victorian spectral sighting of “Jack the Ripper” & some of the unfortunate victims of “Jack the Ripper” were also seen there at the pub as well. It's quite creepy that people have seen either of the spirits of “Jack the Ripper” & some of his victims, but I also think one the creepiest aspects of the pub is the rom that the psychic refused to go into, due to being disturbed and creeped out about the death of a baby.
The psychic said about a baby that was horrifically murdered & their clothing was cut with a knife, which was proven to have actually happened, some baby clothes were found, that were cut with a knife, but the death of the baby was unexplained, which is sad and very creepy.
I haven't heard of this London pub before, so this was creepy and really interesting to read about.
It's creepy that some of the victims of “Jack the Ripper”were found dead & mutilated near the Ten Bells Pub in London.
Harry Houdini was an escapologist, an amazing, mesmerising & really interesting person & magician.
He was a Hungarian-American, his known magician name was Harry Houdini but his real name was Erich Weiss.
He was really interested in the occult, he was sceptical of psychics, mediums and vowed to personally expose them for taking advantage of people that were grieving, they just wanted to talk to their dead relatives that died during World War 1 which is really sad & disgusting that they were exploited.
Harry Houdini didn't really believe Sur Arthur Conan Doyle's wife was a medium, so this led to them falling out and no longer being friends.
He was sceptical of the messages received via automatic writing due to it being in English, when his mother spoke German very well, but didn't speak or write in English well.
The circumstances that led to Harry Houdini's death were avoidable, he was punched several times in his stomach, he had appendicitis but continued to perform magick tricks to entertain people.
He was sweating and unwell, it wasn't until his wife Bess told him to seek medical help that he did anything about it, he waited too long to seek help, so doctors were unable to operate on him & remove his appendix because it had ruptured and he had gangrene which is an infection.
He died on 31st October-Halloween in 1926.
