I
might as well go ahead and admit it—I'm a huge fan of Ghost Hunters
and also the spin-off Ghost Hunters International. Both shows are
entertaining and I adore the personalities of the ghost hunters
themselves. However, within the same breath, I'm also a skeptic. I
don't believe everything I see or hear on the shows.
This
book, Seeking Spirits, is about the cases Jason and Grant
investigated before they landed on television. The cases are broken
down into chronological order according to year. In between cases
there are sections thrown in devoted to explaining certain types of
hauntings, devices, etc., to elaborate. The cases themselves range
from the believable to unbelievable to just plain crazy.
Many
of the cases in this book resulted in unexplained EVPs, noises, and
the occasional shadow sighting. We see these types of cases a lot on
the show. There were a couple of cases covered in this book that just
seemed too “out there” for me. Take for instance the case
entitled Pots & Pans. In 1997, a man named Tim claimed that his
furniture would get rearranged and his pots and pans would be stacked
in the floor by an unknown force. During the investigation Jason and
Grant witnessed the claims first hand. They concluded that an
“elemental” was responsible.
Another
case I found totally blown away with was the case of the
doppelganger. In 2001, Jason and Grant got a call from a man that
said he was concerned about his wife. He claimed that he would have
conversations with his wife, then later his wife would account they
had no such conversation. This doesn't seem very paranormal sounding
does it? Well, the situation started to become worse for the man and
his wife and he decided that he needed someone to come in and
investigate his claims and get to the bottom of what was happening.
According to Jason and Grant, there was a doppelganger impersonating
the wife. I still can't seem to wrap my head around that one.
Another
case worth mentioning was an instance of a little old lady contacting
T.A.P.S because she was hearing voices. Jason and Grant arrive and
start conducting their interview with the lady. She was sweet and
even brought them cookies and milk to snack on. At one point she goes
to the kitchen to come back a minute later wielding a frying pan
ready to conk both investigators on the head! The little old lady
wasn't being affected by a haunting, instead she was found to have
dementia.
I
was thoroughly entertained by this book even though a few of the
cases seemed a bit far-fetched.
