His work involved close interaction with dying patients, their families, and hospital staff, many of whom claimed to witness paranormal events. Numerous experiences with ghosts in hospitals, cemeteries, and historic sites around the country have led Dwyer to author books based on his extensive research.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, up to date book on haunted locations, January 23, 2009

By	Joe Teeples (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's important to keep this type of information current, and Jeff has done so in this book of haunted locations around the Puget Sound. He has coordinated his efforts with the major ghost hunting groups such as AGHOST (the largest in the region), the Museum of the Mysteries as well as individuals and his personal investigations.
I thought when I bought this that it might be a re-hash of existing information, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the book is up to date and written in an entertaining manner. I highly recommend it.
