Product Description
In 1996, a young girl living with an abusive mother commits suicide. Shortly afterwards, her spirit returns to the house, only to find her mother gone and strangers moving in. She also finds the older spirits who dwell there, beginning a powerful battle for control of the house trapping its new residents in the middle. Overshadows chronicles the events of this terrifying multiple haunting, but more importantly, it shares the incredible discoveries made during the course of the six-year investigation. This book will challenge and disprove classic theories, and create upheaval in the circle of life-after-death research.

Good read. August 4, 2008
The book drags a little to start, but picks up around chapter 5. A good book that can be completed in 1 night.
This case would have far more interesting if they had been able to research and tell the story of the entire property. Instead we only get hints that it is not only the writer and friends experiencing problems--others also have issues. The author only gets to investigate one other apartment on the premises. It would be interesting to see if there were more reports.
 Great service!!! August 12, 2007

I received a confirmation email almost immediately with clear and specific instructions. The order arrived before promised and in mint condition. Very realiable person!
 Bait and switch from start over to disjointed jumble June 20, 2007

What a disappointment, like a bait and switch. Starts out in its short first chapter exciting then changes subject (first chapter to have virtually nothing more to do with the story). Lots of disjointed "pendulum" conversations typed double or triple space stretching out the 150+ pages, that just didn't hold together and weren't even consistent. Spoiler alert, if this can be spoiled. Indian burial ground? Oh, never mind. Some one killed in 1906, forget it, move on. Woman died from abortion during some fictiously imagined-by-author abortion scheme, promised to be dug up, sorry, forgot. Guy die in war from T.B. Check. From one spirit to the next and no connection between them. And to be honest, this whole pendulum conversation started sounding a tad incredible -- because the questions were often compound or hard to follow, yet no spirit ever seemed to have a problem giving them the answer. Spelling out a variety of names. By the end, what a disappointment. Jumpled nothing but that there are spirits supposedly around this undefined area. And so what? They did nothing to help them, despite all their pendulum promises. If I were one of the spirits, I'd be ticked off.

I first saw this story on the discovery channel on a show called a haunting which is a very good show if you like ghost stories.
The book was a pretty good read not one of the best books on haunted houses but not bad. If you like ghost stories this book is pretty good.
WOW!! January 12, 2007

I had this book read in a day! That fascinating! If you can get passover the typos and the amatuar writing it is interesting. I don't know if I could stay in that house or not. But I only wish there was a follow from the author, such as returning and talking with current residence etc...
