Publisher's Synopsis
The truth is - Ghosts are everywhere. They're in your favorite restaurant, your church, your workplace, your streets, and your bedroom. In my 20 years of paranormal investigation, I have had countless first-hand experiences with spirits. I've been pushed, kicked, poked, screamed at, terrified and taunted. I've had interactions with ghosts who were nobodies, and I've had interactions with famous and infamous ghosts (such as: President Abraham Lincoln and the notorious accused-murderess Lizzie Borden). Over the years I learned that ghosts present to us many more questions than they supply answers, but no questions trouble the investigator more than the most obvious ones: Why are so many of our dead roaming the Earth? Why won't they move on? Are they trapped here?It's not that ghosts are happy here on Earth - in 20 years of paranormal encounters I never encountered a happy ghost. In fact, ghosts are cold, hostile, miserable, frustrated, and lost. They use profanity frequently, and have no reservations at all about dropping the F-Bomb in anger. So if they're not happy in their earthly situation, why won't they move on? Unfortunately, the answer is: They can't move on. So what is it that keeps ghosts here on Earth against their will? What is the common thread among them that keeps them trapped? It can't be who they were in life because there are ghosts of every variation - there are presidents & peasants, criminals & police, clergymen, businessmen, soldiers, the rich & poor, the healthy & ill, the intelligent & slow, the young & old, the famous & obscure, villains & heroes, and anyone in between. What is the trait they all share? What is the common thread among them that damns them to Earth? I have 20 years experience in paranormal investigation and have had countless first-hand experiences with ghosts. Over the years I assumed that each ghostly encounter I had was isolated and independent from the others. I was wrong. Very wrong. As I began to look at the ghostly encounters together I noticed there were patterns in them, terrifying patterns. And those patterns illuminated the common threads that lead to ghostly damnation. Now here's the terrifying part: any one of us can unknowingly bring the common threads into our life - that means any one of us, at any time, can become a lost spirit trapped on Earth. - At one of us, at any time. The book is titled: How to Not Become a Ghost. It lays out the common treads all ghosts share, in detail, as well as how you can avoid falling victim to them. In the book the common threads are referred to as Pitfalls, and there are three Pitfalls. They are: Attachment, Unpaid Debts (not money), and Deliberate Darkness. Falling victim to any one of the three is enough to damn a spirit to ghostly status on Earth. How to Not Become a Ghost is Your Step-by-Step Guide to Avoiding the Worst of All Fates - becoming a lost and angry trapped ghost on Earth. There's never been anything like this...
