A Guide to Real Ghosts, and Spirits.

This is really an excellent book on Ghosts. It tells you the different type's of ghosts and hauntings that are out there. And yes all of this literature is Real, Actual accounts from the Author who is a true ghost hunter herself. I really enjoyed reading this book and i highly recommoned this to any Ghost believer or those who want to learn more bout the different kinds of ghosts.

Well-written, would have preferred more "I was there" details

There's no question that the author has a great deal of experience and is genuinely intuitive, and the book is very well written, organized, and edited. However, from my perspective, the book would have benefited from a lot more first-person stories with a lot more details. In one case especially, she backs off any details at all about what happened in a very unusual case, citing privacy. I appreciate her ethics, but it's possible to tell a story and change a few details in order to support the context of what you're describing and make it more interesting for the reader. The bulk of the book is devoted to explanations of various types of paranormal phenomena. However, Ms. Goodwyn writes off theories with which she doesn't agree without presenting any supporting evidence for her statement that her own favorite theories are more correct. In her view, poltergeists can't possibly have a demonic aspect. It's just the energy of the emotionally stressed or disturbed at work; case closed. This is a subject of a great deal of study and debate among people who specialize in this type of case, and to state that her own theory is correct categorically--even if she does so based on years of experience--strikes me as incautious, and the book suffers for it.

Passing the information along the East Coast

"As the mist became focused and more defined, it was obvious to me as well as everyone who was present that it was taking on the shape of a huge circular portal. Then it happened! Orbs began flying out of the center at rapid speeds. Before long the area was flooded with orbs of every conceivable color." - Ghost Worlds, by Melba Goodwyn Experienced parapsychologist, and member of the Texarkana Paranormal Investigators, Melba Goodwynn, has blended clairvoyant wisdom with traditional psychology in providing spiritual counseling for over twenty-five years. Goodwynn theorizes that ghosts are energy beings who vibrate at different frequencies. This results in ghosts appearing not only in different forms, but also in different colors with tendencies toward darker shades, hence the shadow people. In this fascinating examination of paranormal phenomena, she gives insight on the behaviors & types of ghosts, children & imaginary playmates, practical ghost hunting & communicating tips, energy anomalies, and vortexes. She states that she believes that a vortex represents a conduit that supplies the energy necessary for ghosts to retain their spherical shape until they choose to manifest in a more distinct form. Vortexes that appear to spin clockwise will appear vertical as if rising, while those appearing to spin counterclockwise is often photographed as descending from the upper part of a photo. These descending vortexes are usually photographed as long swaying horizontal shapes, bending and curving with odd contrails behind them.

Awesome New Information about Ghosts & Portals

This book provides a wonderful opportunity for readers to visit the life of a psychic and learn what it is really like. I can tell you that Melba is the real deal. She is so insightful about her subject matter and does such a good job of explaining everything in down to earth terms, that it is a joy to read her work. I am also happy to say that she is a very close personal friend and a truly genuine person. She has for many years helped hundreds of people through her readings and sound advice. She owns her beliefs and is not shy about claiming what she believes to be true. She walks the walk and talks the talk. She never glosses over the truth even if it may not show her in her best light. You have to admire a person who does that. And you will admire her and her work when you read Ghost Worlds. Her personal experiences will astound you. And believe me, they are true. I was there with her on some of them!
