Product Description
"A collection of chilling stories...eerily believable and truly spooky...very strongly recommended..."--Midwest Book Review
Most people think of ghosts as rare, elusive creatures that are more or less inaccessible to the average Joe. Sure, we read about them, watch TV shows about them and tell stories about them, but we'll probably never run into one--right? Don't be so sure. Even if you've never personally encountered a ghost, chances are you know someone who has.
The Ghost Next Door takes a revealing look into the lives of average, everyday people from across the country who have had experiences in the realm of the unexplained. Whether you're a true believer in ghosts or a hard-nosed skeptic, you're sure to get a chill or two when you read about the woman who was visited by her grandfather...on the night of his funeral! Or the man who was forced to move by a troublesome spirit...only to find it had followed him!
As you make your way through these and other genuinely spooky stories, you'll probably find that ghostly encounters are a lot more common than you had imagined. Could there be a "haunted house" in your town? Perhaps on your very street? Maybe even right next door?

I'll have to disagree with "fatmanupnorth" about this book. The subtitle is "True Stories of Paranormal Encounters from Everyday People" and that's exactly what it is. The subtitle is NOT "True Stories of Paranormal Investigations from Everyday People". I got what I expected based on the title, and was quite pleased with it. This book is written better than most other books I've come across in this genre, and there is no "filler" information, which is probably why it's a bit thin. On the whole, this book was quite an entertaining and, at times, chilling read.
I found this book a really poor read. It is a very slim volume and did not represent value for money.
Supposedly true stories,many were not what I would call ghost stories at all and although not poorly written I would not call this offering outstanding in any way.
In my view there are better books out there if you are looking to be entertained, chilled or provoked into reading more in the genre.

I am sorry not to go along with everyone else who has reveiwed this book but I thought for one it was too short and it wasn't in depth enough to be a thouroughly compelling read. It is a collection of stories that any of us could put together with a little bit of time on our hands. The collection of stories is from people who the author either works with or family members reciting stories along the lines of "well I have never experienced anything myself but a friend of a friend heard that something happened". We can all exploit local legends and call them "other worldly experiences". There were a couple of stories that were interesting but overall the book was too short and the stories were too watered down and not in depth enough to give them any real credibility.
