Foreword
At Take A Break’s Fate & Fortune, one of our biggest post bags arrives for Philip Solomon’s ‘Help I’m Haunted’ column. Each month, ordinary householders with very unordinary things happening in their homes write to Philip for help and advice. Whether they’ve experienced spooky shadows on their stairs and are curious to know what or who could be behind it, or are being subjected to visitations so terrifying they’re on the brink of handing in their keys and quitting the place, Philip has helped hundreds of people with nowhere else to turn thanks to his amazing link to the spirit world. Often he is able to give people the names of the spirits who are wreaking havoc in their homes, and invariably provides them with practical steps to calm the activity down. More amazing, he does all this by simply looking at a photo of their property and tuning in remotely. I know if I ever had unwanted visitors of the spooky kind he’d be the ‘ghost buster’ I’d call! When he’s not using his talents to help Fate & Fortune readers, Philip is to be found investigating haunted buildings far and wide and over the years there’s not much he hasn’t encountered in the strange and spooky realms. All of which makes him uniquely qualified to write a quiz book on the paranormal. There are still many things we don’t know or understand when it comes to then spirit world but with the help of this entertaining and informative book we can all learn a great deal.

Introduction
Welcome to ‘The Ghosts, Ghouls and Gore Quiz Book’. Within its pages you will find questions and answers on many types of different ghosts and, I hope, spend many hours questioning yourself or others using the questions within.
I think it is fair to say that in the last twenty five years the paranormal generally has become one of the most popular subjects. All the programmes about hauntings and ghosts that we have on television today prove that, I think, and you will even find questions about these within the book.
So whether you believe or not, let’s go ahead and test your knowledge and see just how much you do or do not know about ghosts, ghouls and gory things. You will find within its pages, questions and answers that are suitable for all ages and no doubt you will enjoy using this book to find out what others know about such things too.
Whether you are nine or ninety-nine, there should be something here of interest for everyone. I wonder if there is someone out there knowledgeable enough about all such things who can answer everything I ask of you? Hmm - that is the question!
