    About this ebook

    A paranormal investigator (ghost hunter) brings you a collection of true ghost stories. Many people still don’t believe in ghosts or spirits, but believing in spirits and ghosts is getting to be a bit more mainstream, and not regarded as so "nonsensical" any more. Kathleen Rothenberger has filled the pages of ‘Read With the Lights On’ with many ghostly visitations that have happened either to her, or her friends. Prepare to be scared out of your wits.

    Kathleen Rothenberger

    Born in NY, as the oldest of three siblings, Kathleen was always the responsible one. She did her homework, helped with her younger sister and brother, and to escape from the responsibilities, she read. Lots and lots of books. She has been reading since age 3, and has always paid attention to how words go together. Her careers have always involved writing somehow, either as scripts for TV shows, commercials or other productions, as president of a video production company that she and her husband owned in Florida, or as an editor and proofreader, which is her current career. Kathleen is a member of the Florida Writers Association and the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors

      FOREWORD

      I am a paranormal investigator (ghost hunter), and for a few years, my husband and I did investigations and Halloween hauntings tours in small southern towns.

      Many people still don’t believe in ghosts or spirits, but with TV shows like Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Coast to Coast with John Edward and The Long Island Medium (to name a few) believing in sprits and ghosts it is getting to be a bit more mainstream, and not regarded as so nonsensical any more.

      These are some of the things that have happened either to me, or to friends of mine. I hope that you enjoy them, and learn a little bit about how life is on the other side. Some of the details may have changed, based on my memory, but the stories are true.

      Thanks to Kathy Westerman, of R.I.P. (Researchers Into the Paranormal), in Florida, for letting me use the paranormal investigation stories we did with her group. Thanks also to my husband, Joe, for not complaining (too much) when I sat up writing it till 5am, some days.

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to my mother, who left this earth way too soon, and to my husband, Joe, who now wants me to write another book, or two, or three…

      My heartfelt thanks to fellow author Nancy Lee Badger for her assistance with the book’s formatting and assistance in bringing this book to my readers.

      BELINDA

      When I was younger, my uncle (mother's brother) and aunt bought a beautiful old colonial home in upstate New York. It was a lovely, comfortable family home and felt very welcoming, sitting on a hill, overlooking nature.

      They had no idea that the house was haunted, until they started to remodel and renovate it, including paint and wallpaper. My uncle had a come-along in the attic, a farm tool, really, used to straighten fence posts, and in this case, support beams for the house. It consists of metal posts and chains with a winch to pull the chains tight to straighten up the beams.

      One day they heard this awful racket, scraping and bumping, in the attic. My uncle raced upstairs to see what the heck was going on, and the come-along had been dragged thru the dust in the attic from one side to the other. There were no other living people in the house at the time. That unnerved them a little bit, but it was their
