Show Me One Soul: A True Haunting [Hardcover]

Nancy L. Stallings (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

When Nancy Stallings and her family found the large "handyman's special" home on Evergreen Avenue it seemed perfect for them. They never suspected that the odd occurrences that took place in the house could be associated with a haunting. It wasn't until her husband Ron dared God to show him just "one soul that could return from the dead" that the haunting began in full force. The haunting affected every member of the Stallings family as well as their friends and neighbors. They coped for ten years with the many "ghosts" that lingered on the property - some benevolent, many malevolent. Show Me One Soul includes actual psychic photographs taken in the haunted house as well as the transcripts of the verification of the haunting by Professor Hans Holzer of the New York Institute of Technology and the New York Committee for the Investigation of paranormal Occurrences. Show Me One Soul is a vivid addition to the growing literature of the paranormal. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Show Me One Soul: A True Haunting (Hardcover)

I was totally disappointed in this book. I'm a hometown fan. I love most everything about Baltimore. And this book makes us look stupid. Not the content. It's a ghost story. And some of the images are really funny - my favorite was the wiccans cleansing the house. But the presentation of the material is so poor that it makes it hard to attach any seriousness to the tale. Noble House has spellcheck and grammar check on it's computers, don't they? English is not a second language to Nancy Stallings, is it? The family priest set up an "alter" rather than an "altar". Nancy "shuttered" rather than "shuddered". The evil ghost viewed the family as "pray" rather than "prey". And the medium helping these poor folks out admitted to having visited the "Marilyn" Institute once rather than the "Maryland" Institute. The new ghostbusters have presented talks to "Mensia" groups rather than "Mensa" groups. "So mote it be" became "so move it be" as the parapsychologist tried to remove the ghost. I especially liked the term "ancient witchcraft" being applied to Wicca. Wicca was created in the 1950's by it's founder Gerald Gardner. I was also created in the 1950's and am hardly "ancient". I'd have had no trouble with this presented as fiction, but if you want to call it fact, go to the trouble of checking facts and proofreading.

3.0 out of 5 stars WORTH READING, May 27, 2006

This book was ok, but the author skipped around so much that you did not know if it was the present or the future that she was referring to. I would check it out at the library instead of spending the money on it.
