The Ghost Files: Paranormal Encounters, Discussion, and Research from the Vaults of GhostVillage.com

In 1999, Ghostvillage.com was launched with the objective of exploring and openly discussing the subject of ghosts and the supernatural. What started then as six Web pages has exploded into more than 150,000 pages of personal encounters, research articles, and in-depth interviews with various experts, all supporting the existence of ghosts. Today, Ghostvillage.com is the largest and most popular supernatural Web site, according to Google. People from around the world have found a place to share their encounters, evidence, and thoughts on the paranormal.

Now Jeff Belanger, the man behind this groundbreaking website, brings you The Ghost Files, a new book featuring compelling evidence and riveting discussion on one of the greatest mysteries of the human experience: what happens after death? Culled from the pages and files of Ghostvillage.com, this book offers dozens of personal and profound accounts of ghost encounters, feature articles, commentary from the experts, and much more. Something like a "best of" the paranormal, it covers topics such as:

• Animal spirits
• Folklore
• Ghost hunting
• Historic haunts
• Near-death experiences
• Possession
• Psychics
• Skepticism
• Spirit communication

The Ghost Files is for fans of ghost stories and paranormal investigation, as well as for anyone who wants to understand the supernatural experience. Objective and open, it dares to go into dark corners, haunted places, and other locales where ghosts lurk and hide. If you're looking for new insight on an ancient mystery, this is the book for you.
