Customer Reviews

Good scare, good story.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy almost all ghost stories especially the ones that claim to be true. I found the story to be exciting and frightening. I also enjoyed the ending and how it took into account the very real possibility of poltergeist type activity where a haunting centers around a specific human agent. It was a good read.

Very enlightening - yet terrifying!

The haunting of Doretta Johnson is one of the most fear inciting stories I have ever read. I find myself pondering the family's situation, wondering 'what if.' I came to a point while I was reading this description of Doretta's experiences where I refused to read the book if I was alone. That's not the norm around here. I have been out on paranormal investigations, and yet I could not read that book alone. I highly recommend this book - to anyone interested in the paranormal.

Absolutely Terrifying!!!

Doretta Johnson's protrayal of her experiences was absolutely mind-blowing. I had to stop reading the book for about a week because I was getting horrible nightmares. The things that happened to Ashley were terrible... I admire the Johnson's courage and applaud them for the strength. Especially Doretta Johnson. Please write another book!

I was scared to death!!

Doretta Johnson's story was extrememly unnerving. It actually brought to light for my sister and I the paranormal activity that occurred in our home over a decade ago. The things she experienced made my sister and I remember the "weird" phenomena we now recognize as poltergeists and ghosts. Although her hauntings have not stopped, I applaude Doretta for having ALL the courage to keep on trying...she is a heroine.

By far the best book written about a true haunting!

The People in The Attic held my attention throughout the entire book! I could not put it down..in fact..I read it twice! It was indeed a frightening tale, even more frightening once the reader realizes it is non-fiction. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who researches, believes or disbelieves, or has had similar experiences with the paranormal. Definately the best book I have ever read. ::::::applause:::::: to the author for sharing her story. :
