    About this ebook

    A real-life ghost hunter shares true stories and up-close explorations of haunted sites.
     
    Muffled voices in an empty attic, heavy footsteps on a vacant stairwell, silent shadows across a darkened room . . . The spirit world has intrigued Jeff Cole for decades, leading him from a career in archaeology to his passionate work as a paranormal researcher. Going beyond superstition and fantasy, Cole arms himself with cutting-edge technology, in a quest to discover actual scientific evidence of the realm where the souls of the departed continue to dwell—and make contact with the living.
     
    In Ghostly Encounters, Cole explains his techniques and chronicles his journey as he searches sites both famous and little known for signs of the world between life and death. Taking us to wide-ranging places, from Gettysburg to the Ohio State Reformatory, the Villisca Axe Murder house, St. Albans Sanatorium, and more, he shares first-person eyewitness accounts, as well as testimonies by the various paranormal investigative teams he has worked with, in chilling accounts of fascinating discoveries and encounters with the “other side.”
     
    As a bonus, Ghostly Encounters also includes links to video and audio clips, so readers can enjoy a multimedia ghost-hunting experience.

      This was a somewhat interesting book, although I did find it quite boring at times. It was nothing like I expected it to be. This was basically a how-to book to be a paranormal investigator. There were many stories of the adventures had by the author, however when it came to the parts where the experiences should have been elaborated upon, the author would insert links to his website to hear and or see what they had recorded. That is all well and good, but I wanted to see and hear these things in words from the author, and learn of his reactions. The links should have been listed maybe at the end of the book. The links on my kindle app on my iPad did not work, so I would have to leave my reading then actually look up the website to try to access the recording. And living in the country with total sucky Internet, sometimes it would take me 10 minutes to access it.....if I was lucky. Much of the book was about the history of each place visited, which was fine. And much of the book was about the technical aspects of the equipment used, and how it compared to equipment used by the TV ghost hunters. Basically, this boiled down to a disappointing experience for me.

      Follows a man on his journey into ghost hunting. Trying out various groups until he finds one where he seems to fit in. He seems to be a bit in awe of a couple of the paranormal investigator shows that were on tv at the time it was written. There's a couple of chapters on tech gadgets and his opinions and what is good and bad etc which I basically skimmed through. The investigations themselves were nicely reviewed, but he relies to much on QR codes that no longer work. I tried several of them and it just links to a page for the book on the publisher's website. It would have been nice to have what was in them explained in the text as well. At times it leaves you wanting more. But good buck over all.
