TRUE HAUNTING: Book Review: *****
Ghosts. So
many people don’t believe in the paranormal yet there has to come a time where a
skeptic might just question their existence. It’s usually because someone has yet
to encounter something mystic or unexplained or perhaps they just don’t care to
acknowledge its existence. Yet for those of us who believe in God, we are
worshiping the most powerful supernatural being imaginable. To be a bible
believer one encompasses a belief in demons and angels and divine intervention.
And yet people only want to consider the
good in religion, not the existence of hell or its dominions.
So what is a
ghost? According to Ed Becker a ghost is a person who has refused to accept his
or hers death for whatever reason and they have attached themselves to a
possession or perhaps a living being. To think of one stuck in that realm is
sad indeed.
In 1970 Ed
Becker and his wife became the proud owners of an apartment building with 2
units. Ed put his time and effort into restoring the old establishment. The
couple would rent out the first floor and live on the second with their newborn
daughter. The only problem – there are already tenants living on both floors. Perhaps one could live with a ghost if the
ghost minded itself and left the living to live out their lives in peace. But the
ghosts living with Ed and his family wanted no such peace. Ed’s ghosts were
determined to make themselves known, brewing mischief whenever they could, creating
a morbid atmosphere for the first and second floor occupants residing in the building.
This true life accounting of what Ed and his family faced and how they handle
the situation is fascinating. This story happened in the 1970’s a time where
there wasn’t a lot of help out there for someone in Ed’s predicament and
the few experts, including a priest, did little to help the situation.
TRUE
HAUNTING by author Edwin F Becker is a powerful, gripping story that kept me
glued to the pages. If you never believed in ghosts, you might just after
reading this account. True paranormal fans will love reading this creepy tale
of a building’s possession and just how far its ghostly occupants will go to
try to claim what they believe to be still theirs. A great read by a talent
author.
