Haunted: The Incredible True Story of a Canadian Family's Experience Living in a Haunted House (16pt Large Print Edition) [Large Print]

It was an irrational decision. Despite having just moved into a beautiful new house, the Williams family gave in to an odd, overwhelming desire to purchase and move into a Victorian home they had come... This description may be from another edition of this product.

One of my favorite!

This was written in such a way as to build the excitement and experience with the reader. I truly enjoyed the authors writing style. The story was wonderfully written, and I highly recommend this book. It is reminiscent of Night Stalks The Mansion.. another great book btw

A fun tale of the supernatural

Ms Williams' book Haunted is charming and well written. For one thing it has a beginning, middle and end, which this type of book sometimes doesn't . The writer also has a good sense of character, and an excellent sense of narrative. Each of the chapters seems like a short story, complete in itself, while the collection gives the reader the complete tale of the house and its history. Those expecting a blood chilling, creepy tale, however, will be disappointed, since the ghosts tend to be pranksters rather than monsters. My favorite prank is the explosive beer. In fact, I found the author's disconcertion over the haunting somewhat surprising since most of the activity in the house was hardly more challenging than a generally well behaved child's pranks. The phenomenon generally restrained its activity on command as an obedient child might, and some of the occurrences were more designed to please and delight than to upset the family. The tale of the rose bush was quite charming. A fun tale of the supernatural.

Addictive! Couldn't put it down!

Being an avid reader of ghost stories (as well as having had first hand experience in the matter), I found this book to be very intruiging. It was like reading a book that someone wrote about what my family and I went through. It is written in a first-person view (that being of the mother/wife), which I find refreshing. It keeps you interested in the story, as I found myself not wanting to put it down for even a minute. Mind you it isn't very long (only 189 pages compared to the many books I have read containing anywhere up to 400 pages), but it gets to the heart of the story without cluttering up, making it extremely easy to read.It tells of a family that purchases an old Victorian home "on the fly" (how many of us do that!) and soon discover that they got more than they bargained for, and I'm not talking about just the usual fixer-upper.I don't want to give too much of it away, but I do suggest that if you are a lover of a good ghost story, that you buy yourself a copy to find out what happens.

I thought this book was great!

This book was so good I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the supernatural, or just wants to read a really great story. It takes place in an old Victorian house. A couple and their kids move into it, fix it up, and soon start having really amazing experiences. I don't want to give away too much in my review, but not only do they actually see, hear and feel the ghosts, they also have other amazing things happen. If you are a skeptic to begin with, this story may cause you to reconsider what you believe. If you already believe in the supernatural you will really enjoy this book. I also live in an old house and have had some strange experiences so I know how confusing and scary it can be. The events in "Haunted: The Incredible True Story of a Canadian Family's Experience Living in a Haunted House" were described so well there is no doubt in my mind that this really did happen, and I think it really is an "incredible true story".

Couldn't Put It Down!

This book was so much fun to read. Dorah L. Williams has written it just perfectly- she draws you in and is so convincing, you will believe every word of this scary tale. This is not a story about demon possession, as so many haunted house stories end up being. In fact, the majority of her ghosts seem to be children, which makes it all the more interesting. It's a good old fashioned ghost story that just happens to be true- and if you read it at night, you'll definitely find yourself looking over your shoulder!
