Product Description
You needn't be afraid of the dead. It's the living that'll hurt you.
Voices calling out from an unseen world
Shadowy figures out of the corner of an eye
An eerie presence that follows every step
These are just some of the many encounters author Rose Pressey's relatives have experienced. The chilling real life stories of this family provide a compelling glimpse into the otherworldly encounters that they seem to be drawn to repeatedly. They truly seem to be connected in some way with the paranormal world.
From ghost sightings, strange lights, and UFO's to alien implants, this book is full of supernatural intrigue.

 Interesting, but not scary July 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I agree with the other reviewer that the more interesting stories are at the end. Pressey has some writing talent, but needed an editor or proofreader as there are a few errors like "she couldn't bare children" in there. (That may not bother other people like it does me! It just takes me right out of the story and into my editor's hat.) Clearly her family has some openness to the spirit world or they wouldn't have had this many experiences. I was hoping for more of a long-term haunting story, though, and this is more a collection of shorter stories of individual experiences. If that's what you're looking for, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Perhaps I Should Have Started At The End.......... April 29, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Perhaps I should have started at the back of the book, because the good stories are there. The first few stories are so mild and "un-scary" that I almost put the book down, but I prodded on. It was worth it, because the book gets better as the stories progress. Still, the book is smaller than Amazon states, it's only 139 pages, and a small paperback. I read it in a few hours and I think the price is a bit steep for that size book.
The stories are believable and well-written. As someone who also has a "haunted family," many of the stories told in this book sound familiar. I should also add that I'm glad the author commented that newer houses are just as apt to be haunted as old ones. I have lived in new houses with many spirits, while the house we are in now is 117 years old, and completely still. So her observations in that regard are spot on.
I'm giving this book 4 stars because the stories in the beginning of the book aren't so hot, and the book is too small for the price. Otherwise, it's a good read and hopefully she'll market it at some of the B&B's she visited.

I bought this a couple of days ago as a gift for a friend's Halloween birthday party, but one rainy afternoon and three coffees later and it looks like I'll have to find her another gift! This book is written like a collection of short stories that are easy to read and leave you wanting to know more about this intriguing family. It's a captivating page-turner that is guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of your neck and make you want to leave the lights on in the dark. Highly recommended. Actually, I'm just going to buy another copy to give to my friend, it's *definitely* something that she would like too.
