If you are interested in exploring the realms of the paranormal, the facts, the myths, the believers view, the skeptics view, the possibilities and the probabilities then this book is for you. The purpose of this book is to provide a record of information gathered from various sources; taking into account spiritual, scientific, skeptical and nonplus angles of perception. Besides being an interesting read for those new to the Paranormal field it is hoped that this book will be a valuable asset to the hardened Investigator in their bid to reach his or her ultimate goal; which, probably, is to prove or disprove the existence of some form of life after death. The majority of us like a good ghost story, but what makes it even better is if that ghost story is based on fact. This book covers personal accounts that were related to the author by real people. Normal, level headed people from all walks of life; the majority of them being quite skeptical until they experienced something that they could not explain. Whether you are a believer or not there are some accounts within this book that defy logical explanation. The author has added a few legends (as she believes there is always some truth attached to myths), a little documented history (to enhance some of the stories) and a few Paranormal Investigation reports.
