Summary: Different Take on Poltergeists
Comment: This was a good book and worth having in your collection if you collect "true" ghost stories. Usually it's a teenager that's connected with the cause of poltergeist activity, but in this book it's a grown woman with alleged latent psychic abilities. The author's story was covered by the old TV series "Sightings" and her case was studied by Parapsychologist William G. Roll who wrote his own book on the study of Poltergeists. (Roll's theories on this case are interesting.) Like any good "true haunting" book, there's plenty of room for disbelief, but pick it up and give it a shot, it's worth the effort and is definitely worth adding to any paranormal book collection.

Summary: Good scare, good story.
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy almost all ghost stories especially the ones that claim to be true. I found the story to be exciting and frightening. I also enjoyed the ending and how it took into account the very real possibility of poltergeist type activity where a haunting centers around a specific human agent. It was a good read.

Summary: The People in the Attic
Comment: I have read the book. Unlike some people, I believe the story written by Doretta Johnson and to be fascinating and true. Some might think I am easily fooled and guilible. But I am a level-headed person and haveread many articles and books on the Paranormal over the last 30 years. Who are we (individuals in general) to question that which we don't completely understand. I grew in a Protestant household and have my head on my shoulders. I think that the fact many individuals have taken photos of spiritual presences which have evaluated and found to not be tampered with and that there are witnesses, and personal accounts proves something. I was very impressed with the courage and that it must have been a cathartic process for Ms. Johnson to write this book. I realize that some individuals who claim to be psychics and who claim to have seen ghosts or felt a spirit presence are not all honesst. However, this woman's life and what she went through, her accounts of premonitions before things happened as well as her grandmother's, appear to be accurate and true. THANKS FOR WRITING THIS BOOK DORETTA JOHNSON. D. L. Duffy

Summary: Reality Bites
Comment: it's true once you begin reading this book you can't put it down without great regret. take it from someone who's lived with many many ghosts over their own lifetime that these things can and do happen to many people. to some it just isn't possible that such things could conceivably occur in all reality. yet, many many people have experience the same kinds of unexplainable things. it's not true that ghosts can't or won't hurt a person. they can do anything that a person with a physical body can do and then some. until you've walked a mile in the other person's shoes don't call them a liar. this book documents many many intricacies of the afterlife of some who've passed over. after all we don't die our bodies do. sad to say but some can't or won't move on to where most others go after the death of their body. some have an ax to grind or things to reinact that they just won't let go of. let this be a lesson to us all to live each day to the fullest not leaving anything unfinished that we aren't willing to forget about if called upon to leave their body. i feel for doretta johnson and her family having lived with the same myself with my two children. our circumstances weren't near as brutal but nonetheless it was terrifying. having abilities that others don't have or don't know about dosen't justify their abuse of those who do have them. like doretta i also am gifted with special abilities as are my children. we've had more than our share of abuse from all kinds of people who wish rather to judge and abuse instead of understand and help. helping others is what these gifts are all about. when the world can't or won't help people like us can and do. having a personal relationship with God is something i'd not trade for all the abuse i'd had to put up with. be as understanding of the abuse to this family as you would if a physical person were doing the harm. remember this, "there but for the grace of God go i.".

Summary: A New Perspective
Comment: This book was a page turner and I couldn't put it down. It was unknown to me that someone with pyschic tendencies and a background of cruelty affliction and abuse could actually be used by unseen forces to project supernatural phenomena. The house this family purchased was in a magnetic infested area because of power lines and had some major issue problems. Wow! I would have been just as overwhelmed and frustrated as Doretta was. I think when you read books with a supernatural theme, you need to be openminded and unjudgmental. Just because you've never experienced these kind of experiences doesn't mean they don't exist. I am glad I don't live in a haunted house after reading this book.
