Editorial Review:

The Atlantic Paranormal Society, also known as T.A.P.S., is the brainchild of two plumbers by day, paranormal investigators by night: Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. Their hair-raising investigations, fueled by their unique abilities and a healthy dose of scientific method, have made them the subject of a hit TV show: the SCI FI Channel's Ghost Hunters.

Now their experiences are in print for the first time, as Jason and Grant recount for us, with the help of veteran author Michael Jan Friedman, the stories of some of their most memorable investigations. The men and women of T.A.P.S. pursue ghosts and other supernatural phenomena with the most sophisticated scientific equipment available -- from thermal-imaging cameras to electromagnetic-field recorders to digital thermometers -- and the results may surprise you. Featuring both cases depicted on Ghost Hunters and earlier T.A.P.S. adventures never told before now, this funny, fascinating, frightening collection will challenge everything you thought you knew about the spirit world.

Editorial Review:

Everyone loves a good ghost story. Perhaps the human fascination with the supernatural stems from the fact that most of us, at some point in our lives, have experienced something we couldn't quite explain. From a very young age James Van Praagh was aware of a dimension that most of us cannot see, and he has dedicated his life to explaining it to the rest of us. Ghosts Among Us takes us on an incredible journey into the spirit world that brings to light one of our greatest mysteries—what happens to us after we die?

Van Praagh, the New York Times bestselling author and co-executive producer of the CBS series The Ghost Whisperer, shares his knowledge and life experience about ghosts, a subject that can seem to many of us both bizarre and terrifying. But when the world beyond is explained fully by an experienced guide, dismissal and apprehension can be turned into knowledge and inspiration. With incredible true ghost stories and surprising details about how ghosts actively participate in our lives, Van Praagh challenges us to question our perceptions and shows us how we can live more fully through understanding the world of spirits. Including eerily accurate readings, the author's development as a medium, and detailed how-to information, Ghosts Among Us is an all-encompassing guide to the supernatural.

Hello from Heaven 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

My wife passed away almost a year ago, and a friend gave me Hello from Heaven. The book helped me a lot, and I wanted to share it with my sons and a few friends. So thats why I bought several copies of it from you. The book gave me hope, at an extremely hopeless time of my life. Sincerely, Gary M. Rembold Sr.

This book was a disappointment. 1 out of 5 stars.

Nothing new in this book. Skip it if you are wanting to learn new information about the other side. Goodbye to this book! I did not even get half way and I was bored.

Helped me SO much 5 out of 5 stars.

I read this in 1997 after I lost a very close loved one. I have received numerous contacts from him since he passed. Mostly in dreams. A few times - his presence. (And even something surreal.) My real life experiences match the book in the sense that they are unexpected (they come when they want to come ... not necessarily when we call them) and they are short. You HAVE to open your mind and your heart. If you keep it closed, you will not experience these wonderful gifts from God. I believe everyone can. This book helped me through my deepest moments of grief. So for that, I am grateful to the authors for compiling these stories. To the naysayers, I say ... fine. Don't read it or recommend. For those who believe ... this will help in your healing. (And it's just fascinating. I'm fascinated by every experience I've had personally. I know for a fact my loved one is around ... and still with me from his own dimension. It's not anything I need to convince anyone of or to prove to anyone. These are personal moments that God has allowed my loved one and I to share. By his good graces! God is so giving ... it His gift to the grieving.)

Editorial Review:

"After-death communications," or "ADCs, " occur when someone is contacted spontaneously and directly by a deceased family member or friend, without the help of any medium. The authors' research shows that these spiritual experiences offer hope, love, and comfort for thousands of people. Included are more than 350 first-hand accounts of those whose lives have been changed and even protected by messages or signs from the deceased.

Editorial Review:

If author Mary Roach was a college professor, she'd have a zero drop-out rate. That's because when Roach tackles a subject--like the posthumous human body in her previous bestseller, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, or the soul in the winning Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife--she charges forth with such zeal, humor, and ingenuity that her students (er, readers) feel like they're witnessing the most interesting thing on Earth. Who the heck would skip that? As Roach informs us in her introduction, "This is a book for people who would like very much to believe in a soul and in an afterlife for it to hang around in, but who have trouble accepting these things on faith. It's a giggly, random, utterly earthbound assault on our most ponderous unanswered question." Talk about truth in advertising. With that, Roach grabs us by the wrist and hauls butt to India, England, and various points in between in search of human spiritual ephemera, consulting an earnest bunch of scientists, mystics, psychics, and kooks along the way. It's a heck of a journey and Roach, with one eyebrow mischievously cocked, is a fantastically entertaining tour guide, at once respectful and hilarious, dubious yet probing. And brother, does she bring the facts. Indeed, Spook's myriad footnotes are nearly as riveting as the principal text. To wit: "In reality, an X-ray of the head could not show the brain, because the skull blocks the rays. What appeared to be an X-ray of the folds and convolutions of a human brain inside a skull--an image circulated widely in 1896--was in fact an X-ray of artfully arranged cat intestines." Or this: "Medical treatises were eminently more readable in Sanctorius's day. Medicina statica delved fearlessly into subjects of unprecedented medical eccentricity: 'Cucumbers, how prejudicial,' and the tantalizing 'Leaping, its consequences.' There's even a full-page, near-infomercial-quality plug for something called the Flesh-Brush." While rigid students of theology might take exception to Roach's conclusions (namely, we're just a bag of bones killing time before donning a soil blanket) it's hard to imagine anyone not enjoying this impressively researched and immensely readable book. And since, as Roach suggests, each of us has only one go-round, we might as well waste downtime with something thoroughly fun. --Kim Hughes

I'll Give Benefit Of The Doubt, But Not A Solid Belief 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I am by no means a diehard (pardon the pun) skeptic. I am an avid reader of anything re: LAD, NDE, ect. And though I take everything I read with a grain of salt, THIS particular book has me straddling the fence, caught between wanting to believe she is credible and wanting to roll my eyes and burst into laughter. In both book form and a few YouTube videos I've watched of her, Mary Ann comes across as completely theathrical and over the top. First of all, as someone else mentioned, the spiritual photos, most particularly that of the statue look p.h.o.n.y. It looks as if it is what it is...a STATUE. And she wants us to believe that she has caught on film what NO reputable ghost hunter to my knowledge has ever managed to achieve? A clearly defined photo that leaves no room for doubt? Okkkk. She details conversations with earthbound ghosts as if she is talking to an average, flesh and blood person. Considering a spirt is nothing but energy with no form; no features, are we really expected to believe that they 'wiggle their eyebrows suggestively'? Far too over the top for me to suspend disbelief. And why is it that nearly every medium out there claims to 'work with police' to help solve cases, yet not one of them has any evidence, including from said law enforcement to back up those claims? I hate seeming so negative and skeptical, when the fact is, I am just like millions of others. I WANT to believe. However, as interesting and borderline unique as this book was from others I've read, it still reads like fantasy fiction. I am a huge Ghost Whisperer fan, but this belongs in a television studio, not reality. As with everything else, take it with a grain of salt. It's a fantastically entertaining read, but not quite convincing.

Editorial Review:

Lights flicker on and off for no good reason. You feel drained and inexplicably irritable. Your four-year-old is scared to enter her bedroom.
Tell these things to Mary Ann Winkowski, and she'll tell you that you have a ghost.
A happily married, devout Catholic, suburban mother and full-time paranormal investigator, Mary Ann Winkowski has been able to see earthbound spirits, spirits that are trapped on earth and haven't "crossed over," since she was a little girl. Mary Ann works with these spirits to help them make peace with what keeps them here - whether it be people they can't let go of or homes they love.
In WHEN GHOSTS SPEAK, Mary Ann will tell the amazing story of growing up with this gift, and will share tips on how to recognize when you're not alone, and what to do if you are in the presence of a ghost.

Rise in public interest fuelled by TV shows such as Most Haunted, about to broadcast its 9th series and Afterlife, averaging 6 million viewers.

This is the only book of its kind showing the paranormal caught on camera.

Contains intriguing images investigated by the Society for Psychical Research.

Ghost Caught on Film presents an extraordinary collection of strange and unexplained photographs that offer the exciting possibility of ghosts and paranormal activity captured on film. The book features early photographs from the Society for Psychical Research of psychics and mediums producing ectoplasm, ghost pictures and other paranormal phenomena as well as celebrated modern images such as the Hampton Court ghost. Each picture is accompanied by a description of its circumstances and the steps taken by Willin, the Society for Psychical Research and the Royal Photographic Society to establish that there is no `normal' explanation for the phenomena. The incredible photographs will stimulate the interest of everyone who sees them. Whether you are a complete sceptic or a semi-believer, you can't help but be drawn into the mystery.

Editorial Review:

Steven LaChance was forever transformed by the paranormal attacks that drove him and his family from their home in Union, Missouri. When another family falls victim to the same dark entity, Steven returns to the dreaded house to offer aid and find healing. Paranormal investigators, psychics, and priests are consulted, but no relief is found. The demon's presence - screams, growls, putrid odours, invisible shoves, bites, and other physical violations - only grow worse. Steven chronicles how this supernatural predator infects those around it. But the one who suffers most is the current homeowner, Helen. When the entity takes possession and urges Helen toward murder and madness, Steven must engage in a hair-raising battle for her soul."The Uninvited" is a true and terrifying tale of extreme haunting, demon possession, and an epic struggle between good and evil. Steven LaChance is the producer and host of "Haunted Survivor", a local radio show in St. Louis. His story was featured on The Discovery Channel's "A Haunting" and in the documentary film "Children of the Grave". His experiences at the Union house inspired him to form the Missouri Paranormal Research society. Steven speaks at paranormal conferences, and this year he will be traveling across the nation with the Haunted Survivors Tour.

Internationally acclaimed psychic medium John Edward takes his talents to new levels and new countries in his fourth book, AFTER LIFE: Answers from the Other Side.
Join John and a documentary crew “Down Under” in Australia and across the United States, where he demonstrates once again that grief, healing, and hope are eternally intertwined and universal.

He shares what he’s learned through his own recent, personal losses and demonstrates that you’re never too late to forgive—and never too far away to love.
In After Life, as he does on his highly rated hit show, Crossing Over with John Edward, John will also connect you with celebrities both here and on the other side—because, as John happily notes, there are no red-velvet ropes or VIP sections over there!
