I liked this book actually. It is an easy read and it has some spooky parts. I found myself not being able to put it down. I do agree with some other readers with the "out of body" experiences, I think she could have left those out because they probably have nothing to do with the paranormal.
This would have made a much better book if it had been sold as fiction. The stories of the hauntings were just too pat & concise to be believable, and there was very little historical information to add any support. So purchasing the book as a "true story" just left me feeling a bit ripped off.
Technically the author's writing was fairly good, but she did have a serious habit of sounding way too cheesy way too often.
I really enjoyed this story of a haunted house in Minnesota. Since I grew up in a haunted house, it brought back lots of memories for me of strange happenings and frightfully entertaining experiences. I am glad my current house is not haunted but recognize that I am surrounded by spirit guides and loved ones who have past on. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the "other side". It was a fun read for this time of year.
Fairly well-written but a little too 'pat' in my opinion. (And I've had my own supernatural experiences.) What I mean is, any time the author can't explain something she puts it down to the supernatural. (Okay, she tries to explain things sometimes, but often jumps too quickly to the supernatural or paranormal explanation.) And one thing she repeats quite a lot is having supernatural or out-of-body experiences while waking from sleep. Most likely what she is experiencing is sleep paralysis. Some people experience this on a regular basis; I've had it happen to me maybe 5-6 times. Not that I don't believed or trust her writing - I do believe she's had a lot of strange things happen to her and I absolutely love the fact that she enjoys living in a 'haunted' house. Overall, she feels living in this house is more enjoyable and enriching than not. Interesting book. I read it with a bit of hesitant skepticism, but kept an open mind.
I have actually read this book before, just after it came out. It has been niggling in the back of my mind since then. I was thrilled to find a copy of it (I had forgotten the name of the book, darn it), and read it again. This is the kind of book that makes me want to fine a "gently haunted" house to move into!
This was a really fun book! I really enjoyed the way she described her old home and instead of making it scary, she made it sound interesting and magical! There were a few parts in the book that made me a little scared but it probably had to do with the fact that it was late at night and I was sleeping alone! This book is not the least bit frightening althogh there are definantly some creepy things going on in her home.
I had to stop after reading about astral projection and out of body experiences. It also bothered me that she kept referring to Leon as “the old man“. I’m much more interested in the history of the house, evidence that would support claims; I highly doubt I’m going to get that based on the direction this is going.
