The Secret Life of Spirits: Meetings with Remarkable Ghost Busters, Hunters, and Whisperers

Résumé du livre

Award-winning journalists Jeffery Pritchett and Andy Colvin recently invited a number of prominent "ghostbusters" onto their wild and woolly New Orleans radio show, "The Church of Mabus," in order to get a handle on the popular ghosthunting scene. "The Secret Life of Spirits: Meetings With Remarkable Ghost Busters, Hunters, and Whisperers" is the result of their intensive yearlong examination. Using a simple "10 Questions" interview format, the authors provide a useful snapshot of this burgeoning field of research. In these colorful discussions, Pritchett and his co-host, Colvin - who have both seen ghosts and other unexplained entities - ask the difficult questions point-blank, yet delicately extract many secrets about the elusive phenomenon from dedicated researchers like Nick Groff, Dan Aykroyd, Mark Phillips, Brad Steiger, Richard Southall, Robert Kopecky, Joanne Brocas, Jim Steinmeyer, A.E. Angel, Lee Strong, Richard Senate, Bob Olson, Thomas Lee Freese, and many others. Like its sister books, "Praise For the Hairy Man: The Secret Life of Bigfoot" and "Probes Happen: The Secret Life of Aliens," this book is more than just an overview. Pritchett and Colvin also deliver gripping eyewitness testimony from firsthand experiencers, and escort the reader into uncharted realms of ghostly high-strangeness: the evidence that our consciousness survives death; the pitfalls of becoming a "trapped" spirit; the dangers of dealing with evil, murderous entities; and the possibility that some spirits - like people - may not be so bad after all. The result is a mind-expanding, one-of-a-kind collection that dares to go where no other ghost book has gone.
