About this listen

Since the beginning of recorded time, mankind has been plagued by unknown forces and beings, baffled by archaeological phenomena, and haunted by the inexplicable accuracy - and inaccuracy - of prophecies and "visions." In the classic Our Haunted Planet, John A. Keel brings into chilling focus strange truths about the Earth and its mysterious inhabitants. Could an unseen, prehuman race have taken careful measures to remain hidden from surface dwellers? Are they still watching us from their secret hiding places, manipulating and misleading us, using us for their own entertainment, and controlling our actions?

Our Haunted Planet is an entertaining survey of anomalous "Fortean" events such as UFOs, enigmatic stone monuments, Men in Black, missing ships and aircraft, phantom radio broadcasts, teleportation, missing time, black magick, tulpas, angels, demigods, tricksters, and much more.

Unlike most ufologists, who settle on a literal interpretation of such phenomena, Keel is broad-minded and courageous enough to include all possibilities - including the impact of occultists and spies on the fields of ufology, conspiracy, and cryptozoology. Modern "spooks" appear alongside the gods of the ancients, creating a mind-expanding pastiche that may either heal your soul, send you to the loony bin, or just keep you up all night as you ponder the meaning of its forbidden secrets.

Interesting but questionable

The book itself is well written. Sentence structure is good and the flow is just right. There were two main problems for me with this book, however. First was the subject matter: because the author covers such a breadth of material, there is little time to go far enough in depth with any particular one. As a result, the subjects covered feel paraphrased and under represented. My second complaint is that the reader has injected sarcasm in places that feel out of place and make some of the comments made by the author feel insulting when I don’t feel that was the author’s intention. Overall, it was worth listening to. There is good information in the book but it was a struggle to listen to at times and I had to take brakes from it often.

I enjoyed reading this, John Keel is one of my favorite paranormal writers because he uses his skills in journalism to tell these stories.

FASCINATING!

One thing you can be sure of is “they” lie to us about EVERYTHING. Something is going on here on earth and this author peels the cover back it in a very entertaining way. I actually have the physical book in addition just so I can digest it better. Highly recommend.

Interesting but flawed

The title hints at a different kind of information and stories surrounding the phenomenon. The audio format makes it difficult to cite sources. The book is also very male-centric, an unfortunate symptom of the time in which it was written.

Bit outdated but still relevant.

overall it's a good book with good sources. many conclusions are assumptions are short sighted however the framework information stands up.

very thought provoking

This book definitely gets you to reconsider your stance on a lot of the weird stuff that is happening (and has happened) on our planet.
The weird gets weirder.
