Ghosted

Ghosted is a unique and deeply personal journey through the world of paranormal investigation, and the very human emotions that fuel our yearning for a glimpse of the world beyond … Alice Vernon presents the social and cultural role that ghosts play in our lives, whether we believe they’re real or not. * Kate Cherrell *Whether you believe in ghosts or are sceptical – this book will enthral. Vernon describes beautifully the history of ghost hunting and questions why we keep searching for ghosts. Ghosted is not really about ghosts at all – but about the living, and the grief which touches us all. * Professor Alice Gregory *In this overview of our long-standing fascination with ghosts, Alice Vernon offers an honest, respectful and thought-provoking reflection on grief and the conflicting forces of scepticism and belief. * Maria J. Pérez Cuervo, founder and editor of Hellebore *
