These brief accounts, from the author of Victoria’s Most Haunted, offer a strong case for the existence of paranormal visitations. Cobb supports many of these claims with accounts provided by legitimate groups that explore such events with scientific electronic devices. Written in a breezy, conversational style, the author enhances his own personal experiences with comments from eyewitnesses who range from security personnel or cleaning staff to family members who’ve lived in haunted houses and even nurses who’ve shared strange experiences from where they work. At the same time, Cobb presents many fascinating details about Vancouver’s history. The territory he covers extends to New Westminster (the original capital of the province), Burnaby, Richmond, and West Vancouver.
