They flew down the chimney, they didn't bite anyone, they were not rabid and the author tells with glee of they uses tennis rackets to kill them. Aside from the poor writing quality it's hard to take this as a "factual" account, considering that Bathsheba Sherman never lived in this house, never went on trial for allegedly killing a baby and did not commit suicide. I wonder if there wasn't something already on the site where the farmhouse was built (a portal to somewhere, a confluence of ley lines? It seems like the family was already very troubled before they ever moved to the allegedly haunted house since according to this account their cat had been "brutalized" at their previous home and their kitten murdered by a neighbor, their home broken into etc.

If it was cut back to a few chapters on topic and developed a story line with progression it would have been much better. Another part that I so disliked was in various parts of the book the author would type in "Boo" who goes there or Boo, who's knocking on the door now, or Boo, who just picked up the phone. In the framework of an inexplicable existence for a family dwelling in a house alive with death, it was a welcome presence, a protective influence in an otherwise scary place.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Then she made matters worse by self-publishing it with a money-greedy publishing house who wouldn't know a good bit of editing if a real editor bit them on the ass. and various bedrooms, parlor, warm room, chimney corner, summer kitchen, pantry, laundry, borning room, woodshed, etc. That being said, I will DEFINITELY purchase the next two volumes when they become available as I think the rest of the story needs to be told. I met Andrea at a paranormal event and heard her and her father speak about their experiences in the home.

Each chapter deals with one cluster of experiences, or place, or friend and that may skip from the first year, to four years or even later. Most of the spirits were friendly: there was a child, often heard crying for its mother, who played with the girls toys, a protective masculine spirit in the doorway, a father and son, with their dog, on the stairs, and a woman who smelled like fruit and flowers who tucked them in at night. If there was one thing I would wish had been different with this book, I really would have liked is the floor-plan of the farm. The chapter headings were weird, the writing style was off putting and there were quotes and poems all over the place that I GUESS were supposed to link up with the story but just felt added on in random.
