"Ghosts And How to See Them"

Oh the treasures one can find in charity shops sometimes. For today's countdown to Halloween, I wanted to share one of these discoveries I made last weekend. Now a disclaimer: I am not a believer in the paranormal and I do not think ghosts exists. I wouldn't buy this kind of book new, because I have no intention of becoming a ghost hunter, a pointless activity for a skeptic if you'd ask me. That said, I love horror and ghost stories and I even try to write in the genre. As such, books like Ghosts And How to See Them can be an invaluable source of inspiration. This is why I bought it last Saturday, at £3.49, a bargain. Also, because I love the cover, worth the purchase in itself. It's eerie, it's atmospheric, it's absolutely perfect for Halloween.

I'm posting about ghosts today too, right after a short post about the results of the Alberta Referendum. A rare "double post" day!

It is perfect for this time of year and for Halloween. I don't believe in ghosts either but I love reading them in some paranormal romance books. LOL Happy Halloween month. 👻👻👻🎃

Having experienced both sleep paralysis 'ghosts' and something a bit spookier that I may talk about later..I'm not ready to write ghosts off completely yet, as there is a noticable difference...but yes, enjoy the book! It looks great!

I never see ghosts. I think they only show up if you don't want to see them.
