    Book DescriptionBack by popular demandA supernatural detective storyWinner of the 1977 National Writers Club Award for NonfictionNow in paperback, this true story recounts a Philadelphia family's encounter with a supernatural presence in their eighteenth-century mansion. After experiencing footsteps at night, opening doors, strange sounds and activity that centered around the library, they investigate, unearthing the mansion's tragic past and changing their beliefs about the supernatural world.My ReviewI found this true ghost story to be a quick page-turner and very engrossing. It's not a scary story but a little bit creepy. It seems believable as the narrator tells what happened in the house and he does not seem to be building up the story in order to make it scary. The family signed a lease for two years and couldn't get out of the lease unless they paid all the rent for two years so they stayed and tried to find out the cause behind the haunting. They came across someone who knew the whole story of the house and his explanation made sense. They decided to move out of the house a couple of months early and did find another house on the other side of Philadelphia in Valley Forge. A relative of the family is not trying to raise money for a movie production. I would definitely watch the movie and think the history would be very interesting to learn more about the house. I would recommend this book to those who love ghost stories but don't expect anything too scary.

    Very comfortable read. Written well and straight forward.
    This book really took me back in time and on multiple occasions I forgot that it was describing real accounts. I do wish the book came with in depth pictures of the house's inside. Everything I've seen I've had to find on the Internet.
    Still a great book.

    I enjoyed this story, although it wasn't your typical scary paranormal thriller. It really highlighted the history and residual energy that can be left behind when something awful happens. It was an easy read and the one thing I did like about the writing style is that the author (s) did not over explain or give too many unnecessary details.

    This book was ok. I normally don't read these kind of paranormal books. I'm a big baby and scare easily. I got this free from pixel of ink. This book was a fast read. To me it wasn't scary. Little disturbing, but not scary. I wouldn't pay for it, but for free it was decent.
