What a frightening and enjoyable book!!

I loved every minute of this read. Ms. Mercado is veryadept at making us feel what she and her family felt.I don't know if I believe in ghosts or not, but afterreading Grave's End, I have never been more unsure. Theauthor is honest and friendly and leaves the reader withthe feeling that what happened to them could happen toanyone. I'd love to see this story on the big screen.Scares me just to think of it. Good luck to the authorand her family.

The best true ghost story !!!

When Elaine Mercado and her first husband bought their home in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1982, they had no idea that they and their two young daughters were embarking on a thirteen-year nightmare. Within a few days of moving in, Elaine and her older daughter began to experience the sensation of being watched. Then came scratching noises and weird smells, followed by voices whispering, maniacal laughter, shadowy figures scurrying along baseboards, and small balls of light bouncing along the ceilings. From the beginning of the haunting, "suffocating dreams" were experienced by everyone except the younger daughter. These eventually accelerated to physical aggression directed at Elaine and both the girls. This book is the true story of how one family tried to cope with living in a haunted house. It also describes how, with the help of parapsychologist Dr. Hans Holzer and medium Marisa Anderson, the family discovered the tragic and heartbreaking secrets buried in the house at Grave's End. This is the best true ghost story book I've ever read. After you reading this one, you won't be able to turn-off the lights of your bedroom when you go bed. In spite of Elaine doesn't be a professional writer ( she is a nurse ), she did a good work here. Whether you are the kind of person that like to be frightened or barely like to read a good ghost story, you should read this one. You won't be disappointed. Good reading !!!

Excellent book

It`s been a long time since I couldn`t find a book as great as this one It will keep your attention since the very begining.I really recommend it. Excellent!!!

Great reading

This is a well written book, a real page turner. Mercado does a great job of telling how her family suffers from feelings of "being watched" after buying a house inhabited by restless, active ghosts. After years of confusing experiences andsleepless nights, Mercado does some research and has the house checked out by the experts. Hans Holzer and Marisa Anderson are called in. You will discover what happened in that location and why there is so much ghostly activity. Fascinating Brooklyn history. Couldn't put the book down.

Emotionally powerful and a riveting, disturbing true tale!

Whew! What I can say about a book I bought yesterday and finished last night at 2 in the morning, gripped in my bed? Literally. I know it's always cliche to hear "I read it in bed and it scared me!" etc., and that never happens to me - it takes a lot to truly terrify me. And this book is the first thing in a long while to make tears roll down my cheeks out of horror as I read. So many little things that happened in the house escalated to truly horrifying things, such as a voice calling out one of the daughter's names then laughing "maniacally" from behind the door. A friend seeing a tiny woman in a wedding dress huddled under the stairwell. A clip hurled at one of the daughters, then pulled back, then hurled again - in midair! These are a few of hundreds of events that took place at the house through the thirteen years of the haunting. Reading this book is so pleasurable for someone such as me who is so into reading about ghosts and hauntings, and as I read I became so emotionally invested and involved that whenever something was happening goosebumps broke out all over me and as I read, anxiously waiting to hear what happened to someone as they screamed and raced down the stairs shaking, I found I was either shaking or had tears in my eyes, or both, and that NEVER happens in all my reading experiences. So because of all this, I urge, urge anyone who is intereted in this subject to please buy this book. It is so powerful and moving, and effected me like nothing else has in a long while!
