Product Description

It was an irrational decision. Despite having just moved into a beautiful new house, the Williams family gave in to an odd, overwhelming desire to purchase and move into a Victorian home they had come upon by chance. They were curious, of course, as to why the house had, in the past, had such a high vacancy rate - no one ever seemed to live in it for a long period of time. But that curiosity didn't last long, because shortly after moving in, strange things began to happen. It became abundantly clear that the home's past owners had all had a reason for leaving: fear. The Williams' new home was haunted. At first, the family tried telling themselves there were logical explanations for the strange things they all were witnessing. But before long they came to accept the fact that they were sharing their home with ghosts. Haunted is the Williams family's story from the point of view of the mother, Dorah. Through her chilling reminiscences, we witness the all-too-real goings-on in the house. And we join the family as they seek a way to bring an end to the paranormal events that were occurring with ever more frequency and intensity, and learn why the events began in the first place.

Customer Reviews

Good read, not great
I enjoyed reading it, but if you're looking for something to run chills up your spine, this ain't it. Not very scary and almost monotonus.

Finally....a GREAT haunted house story!
I love a good true haunted house story and read many books that detail the author's personal experience. This is by far one of the best! Told matter of factly but with personal insight and empathy for these earthbound spirits. I could totally relate to Dorah as her responses to most of her experiences were exactly what mine would have been - fascination instead of terror, humor instead of irritation, research instead of assumption. Their case is understandably difficult to find "answers" for due to the age of their house and it's numerous occupants over the years but in the end I think that's what makes this story so interesting. A terrific read - I highly recommend it!

Very good Read!
I loved this book! It was a full, flowing story, with an engaging plot. The only thing that was negative is the way the author described her feelings towards her impending divorce. It sounded to me as if she was trying to hard to elict sympathy from the reader. EVERYONE KNOWS DIVORCE IS UGLY, SAD, AND DEVASTATING. It took away from the book, and almost made me wonder if all of the bad chi was making the paranormal events happen. That was the only thing negative. The story in itself was gripping, interesting, and believeable to me. I think that it is facsinating that she is still living in the house! I went through the book in one day, since it flowed very easily. In fact, that is what sold me on the book in the first place, since I decided to "take a look inside" via amazon. I loved this book. Worth purchasing!!
