Authors Jette and Colclasure did a spectacular and imaginative job in compiling real ghost stories from around mincing with your average Joe to celebrity tales. There is even a section in the book on how to make your own haunted house, which as a mum of four I found very useful. Objects, people, places and things can all be haunted, as you will find out in this tome. For those who are new to the field of the paranormal or want to learn more on many different levels this is a read to pick up as I highly recommend it." - Author and Paranormalist, Alexandra Holzer, daughter of Hans Holzer, who wrote 138 books on paranormal topics during his lifetime.
