Like his first book, Shadows of the Western Door, Winfield again dives into the supernatural happenings of Western New York. Unlike Shadows of the Western Door, in which the author retold stories of lore and experiences by others, A Ghosthunter's Journal is Winfield's own experiences. From shamans on the Res to Bigfoot, Winfield carefully wove yet another spellbinding look into what lies behind the veil. If you're a WNY History Buff or just your every day paranormal enthusiast, A Ghosthunter's Journal is a great book, and one you shouldn't miss.

Maybe another English teacher like he would love his writing but I found his Elizabethan or old Latin writing style with his long convoluted sentences turning this way and that to be very tiresome and hard to follow where the story was going. I prefer simpler, more direct sentences with flow and vivid description that stay with the start of the story. He jumped around so much I had hard time following where he was going. I lost interest and couldn't even get through the first half of the book. It did have a lot of history involved with his stories but yet it was his writing style that if found tiresome and boring. Just not my cup of tea. Maybe it could be yours.
