Paranormal experiences told by the people who lived them are revealed in these three collections of haunting encounters. Skeptics will ponder where reality stops and another dimension begins after reading these spine-tingling and compelling stories. Real-Life Stories of Supernatural Experiences includes personal stories of an old sea captain who always leaves a puddle of seawater in the kitchen of a house where he once lived; a man who kept going to work even though he had died; and a little girl who cannot leave the place where she died tragically, a place where the family currently living prays for her final release.

A chilling collection of true-life encounters,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real-Life Stories of Supernatural Experiences (Haunted Encounters) (Paperback)
The collaborative effort of Ginnie Siena Bivona, Dorothy McConachie and Mitchel Whitington, Haunted Encounters: Real-life Stories Of Supernatural Experiences is a chilling collection of true-life encounters with the paranormal. A wide variety of men and women relate the strange happenstance and personal experiences that defies explanations of natural law, evoking fear, wonder, and restless curiosity. Highly recommended for readers with a taste for individual tales of ghosts, ethereal spirits, and laments from beyond death, Haunted Encounters is a welcome addition to personal and academic Metaphysical Studies reference collections and reading lists.

Chills in the Hot Summertime,
By Jeanette Crumpler (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real-Life Stories of Supernatural Experiences (Haunted Encounters) (Paperback)
Want to "chill out"? This book gave me a real chill out session. And was perfect summer reading. Some of the tales were scary and some were awesome but all were entertaining and believable. I really liked the fact that all were personal experiences from the contributors, and I felt like I knew many of the lives and stories involved. It was a well-written, well-presented book and most interesting. Way to go, Ginnie, and thanks for bringing in such a great collection!
