Synopsis
"A collection of chilling stories...eerily believable and truly spooky...very strongly recommended..."--Midwest Book Review Most people think of ghosts as rare, elusive creatures that are more or less inaccessible to the average Joe. Sure, we read about them, watch TV shows about them and tell stories about them, but we'll probably never run into one--right? Don't be so sure. Even if you've never personally encountered a ghost, chances are you know someone who has. The Ghost Next Door takes a revealing look into the lives of average, everyday people from across the country who have had experiences in the realm of the unexplained. Whether you're a true believer in ghosts or a hard-nosed skeptic, you're sure to get a chill or two when you read about the woman who was visited by her grandfather...on the night of his funeral! Or the man who was forced to move by a troublesome spirit...only to find it had followed him! As you make your way through these and other genuinely spooky stories, you'll probably find that ghostly encounters are a lot more common than you had imagined. Could there be a "haunted house" in your town? Perhaps on your very street? Maybe even right next door?

The Ghost Next door review
this book was a fantastic read,once picked up i couldn't put it down, the only fault with this book was it was too thin, two hours reading and i'd finished it, and i wanted more!! worth reading.This book makes you think of the strange things that happen all around us everyday.

Top-Notch Ghost Stories!
The Ghost Next Door is a wonderful little collection of true American ghost tales. The stories contained within its pages are fresh, entertaining, and quite eerie. A splendid pre-bedtime read. Unlike many books in this category, this one isn't watered down with irrelevant background information. The author does us a favor by getting to the heart of the matter in each story. And what intriguing matters they are! I highly recommend this title. A wonderful addition to any collection.

Splendid book -- No false advertising
I'll have to disagree with "fatmanupnorth" about this book. The subtitle is "True Stories of Paranormal Encounters from Everyday People" and that's exactly what it is. The subtitle is NOT "True Stories of Paranormal Investigations from Everyday People". I got what I expected based on the title, and was quite pleased with it. This book is written better than most other books I've come across in this genre, and there is no "filler" information, which is probably why it's a bit thin. On the whole, this book was quite an entertaining and, at times, chilling read.
