This book starts off well enough, with the author buying a house that has some oddities about it. But then, the book fails to gel, and becomes progressively disjointed. After several chapters of recounted dreams presented as occurances, I gave up and didn't finish it.My impression is that the author really wanted to write a book, and she was also into ghosts, so she decided to start with a true life ghost story. The only problem: her material is thin. She starts off well enough, moving into a house with some creepy atmosphere. But what follows is mostly dreams, anecdotes about noisy pipes and other settling noises and accounts of people who 'felt something'. I never became convinced that the house was really haunted, or just that she really wanted it to be haunted.Borrow this, if you have a lot of patience for amateur writing and efforts, and want to explore every possible ghost story. It's too insubstantial an effort for me to recommend as a purchase.
