I was not sure what to expect. Books like this can sound like a pushy evangelical or snake oils salesman. The history of ghosts was written with an open heart, with humor in places and the details, historical references and list of events that left me now wanting to further research more on my own. in the end it leaves the reader to their own devices but with images and information that with ponder in your mind for a lifetime.
