This mixture of legends and eye-witness accounts leaves readers wondering if they are reading fact or fiction. The dark, ominous artwork adds to the fun of this international Who's Who of ghosts. The warning at the beginning of the book and the scariness rating of each story will entice readers to read-on. Suitable for Halloween and/or legends of the world study. näyttää 2/2
Rated with one to three skulls, most of the tales aren’t very scary due to their brevity.
Meet skeleton spirits in Alaska -- the Dancing Ahkiyyini -- and gliding ghosts overseas, like Japan's Legless Yurei. Witness groups of ghosts at Mexico's Day of the Dead and the solitary Ibambo on their own in Africa. Of course, each ghost has its own personality. Some like to stay up all night partying. Others, it is said, emerge from the spilled blood of murdered souls. Others still may tidy up your house at night -- but only if they like you. Where can such spooks be found? A World Full of Ghosts takes you around the world to find out. Each fun and frightening profile captures the enduring allure of the supernatural in cultures far and near. Interspersed throughout are first-person accounts of spectral sightings. Meanwhile, a scariness scale rates each tale for younger readers. Featuring 25 phantoms, a not-too-scary storytelling style and suitably luminous -- and spooky -- artwork, A World Full of Ghosts is a glimpse into a world of imagination.

There are also thirteen ghost stories claimed to be true. A map of the word gives the page number for the ghosts of a region mentioned in the book. The scariness of the ghosts is rated by skulls at the top of the page, from one skull to three.
Some ghosts should be quite frightening to those on whom they'd like to wreak vengeance. Some are helpful (I wouldn't mind having one of those Silky ghosts who clean the house while the household sleeps). Some are just sad, such as the hungry ghosts who have no family left to feed them, the outcasts in life doomed to wander in death, or the unbaptized children who just want to go to heaven. The ones who eat souls scared me the most.
These are the ghosts covered: Afrit, Ahkiyyini, Aumakua, Awiri, Banshee, Brahmadaitya, Chindi, Duppy, Egui, Ibambo, Lapu, Liekkio, Nuggle, Rhea, Sea Ghost, Shojo, Silky, Spunkie, Stone Ghosts, the Wandering Gaucho, and Yurei.
This book should be interesting for ghost fans from mid-elementary school age on up. ( )
