If you are a fan of TV shows like "Ghost Hunters" or have any interest in the paranormal whatsoever then this book is for you. The author, a teenager, describes his experiences with real life ghosts in the apparently haunted town of Helena, Texas. Never heard of Helena? Neither had I. The book goes into greater detail but let's just say it has quite a violent past. At any rate Brandon, the author, describes his real life experiences with various ghosts and spiritual powers. Brandon's writing style is very clear and straightforward. The fact that he has actually experienced everything he is writing about gives this book a "you are there" kind of feel. This feeling is further enhanced to the tenth power by the inclusion of many EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recordings of actual ghosts. If your e-reader has a speaker, such as an iPad or Kindle Fire, you get to hear what Brandon is talking about as opposed to just reading about it. The effect is unsettling to say the least. I started reading this book late one night before I went to sleep and it really freaked me out. I finished the book the next day (it was hard to put down) but I read and listened to the rest during the day in a coffee shop, lol! True story. Anyway, if you're interested in real life ghost stories, this book is for you.
