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.

Compelling Story,
By Anne-Marie Merchand (Chicago, IL U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Haunted: The Incredible True Story of a Canadian Family's Experience Living in a Haunted House (Paperback)
I realize not everyone believes in spirits and no amount of proof, written or otherwise, will be enough to convince a skeptic. But, I do believe, even more so now, and I think this was a very compelling story.I borrowed a copy of this book from my cousin and liked it so much I decided to purchase a copy of my own. I'm kind of surprised that a couple of the reviewers on this site seem to be troubled with what they feel is a lack of photographic evidence within the book. That thought never even entered my mind when I read "Haunted". I assume it would have been impossible to include photographic proof for every incident mentioned. It's probably the editors instead of the author who determined exactly what got included, but regardless of who chose them, I thought the photos that were in the book only added to the story. I do agree with another reviewer that it would have been interesting to see the shots mentioned that were taken at a party and in the son's bedroom, but they were well described in the book and I can see why photos of that nature might have been impossible to include without violating the family's privacy altogether by showing the interior of their home and pictures of their family and friends. And besides, with all the computer software programs such as Photoshop that are now available to edit and alter photographs I guess anyone could come up with as many ghost photos as they wanted to create, but that wouldn't necesarily mean they were real. In my opinion this book was told in an honest and credible manner and I really thought it was good.

A book well worth reading,
By Carrie Nelson (Newark, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Haunted: The Incredible True Story of a Canadian Family's Experience Living in a Haunted House (Paperback)
I don't usually read ghost related stories, but I have to admit I had a good time reading this book and enjoyed it more than I actually expected to. The cover caught my eye and intrigued me, and once I started reading the story I couldn't stop. I'd be lying if I said it didn't scare me in some parts, but overall it's more thought provoking than a horror movie type of plot. Maybe that is why I liked it so much. This is a great book to read on a dark and stormy Autumn night, or any time for that matter.

Perfect Halloween Reading,
By "canadianguy3" (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Haunted: The Incredible True Story of a Canadian Family's Experience Living in a Haunted House (Paperback)
I have read many books recently on the topic of ghosts and haunted houses and I must say this particular one was exceptionally good. The author tells her story in such a straight forward and credible manner it is entertaining, but still unnerving. I admire this family's courage in how they dealt with such a frightening situation as living with ghosts. And, I applaud Mrs. Williams in sharing their private story with the public and thereby shedding a new and fascinating light on paranormal phenomena.
