 Pretty Neat January 31, 2008

This book is kinda cool the way it is written. I have to respect the way it was written exactly how the people telling the stories talk. I thought it was a neat concept and not something you find all that offten in books. Overall an interesting book.

This is an interesting book full of short ghost stories. I purchased the book because of the authors' interviews with people such as George Lutz of 'Amityville Horror' fame. I enjoyed reading from the perspectives of real people as opposed to handed down ghost stories that have been re-cycled for years and have made the rounds of many, many ghost books.
I feel the book was worth the money.
Well done November 27, 2007

I loved this book! Light, easy to read first person interviews. No trumped up, tricked out horror stories, just real experiences of real people. I even liked that some were less than dramatic. My only complaint, the book is way too short :) I could have read hundreds more pages.

Apparently, we are NOT alone. In virtually every corner of the world, reports of supernatural occurrences have flourished, sparking heated debates between believers eager to share their experiences and skeptics just as eager to shoot them down.?In Our Haunted Lives, paranormal researcher Jeff Belanger shares with readers the haunting experiences of people from all over the U.S. and abroad. These "allegedly" true stories, recited in interview format, read like conversations told over coffee to a trusted friend.
While readers will gain an understanding of the witnesses need to share their experiences, you can almost feel their anxiety and fear. A 57-year-old factory worker from Illinois shares her vivid encounters in the house where she resided in 1966, with her in-laws. During one particular incident, she was lying in bed when something grabbed her hair and the hanging light on the ceiling started spinning.
Her sister-in-law's boyfriend shot and killed himself in the basement and in 1968, after her divorce, her husband murdered his father in the kitchen.
A man from Toronto, Canada, recalls his time with "spooks" at the house he lived in as a child. "Very soon after we moved in, we started experiencing the phenomena of doors closing by them selves, which at first we thought was the house settling," he says, "except for the fact that the doors would lock." At times, they would hear footsteps walking up the driveway, prompting them to look out the window, only to see no one.
These are but two of the dozens of firsthand accounts found in this treasure of a book. Individuals from all walks of life, ages, cultures, and religious backgrounds bravely reveal their stories in vivid detail. "Over the years I've heard from hundreds of people who have experienced a brush with the supernatural," says Belanger. "My objective was to capture not only the experiences, but the nature and nuances of the language people use to relate these profound events."
The way in which Belanger documents these ghostly encounters gives readers the opportunity to experience the full emotion, and at times trauma, of the individuals sharing their stories. Rarely does a book prompt me to sleep with a light on, but this one did!
