Due to what type of winter I have been having, and time getting the best of me, I have been having a hard time grasping the information content in the book I was reading (interviews with Dahmer, Gacy and other serial killers by a CIA agent). I think it is the authors writing style, why I was having a hard time getting very interested in the book, it'll be put away for a rainy day, I guess.
Sunday we went to the city library, I was a a search, for some better reading material. Something ghost like, or murder like, the usual.
On the computer search, I stumbled across the title of a book called Grave's End A true Ghost Story by Elaine Mercado, R.N. The cover of the book shows a black and white pic of an incredible looking house, and unkept front lawn. Skeleton trees. I guess the book found me.
I am already half done, and have had a horribly busy week, it's been hard to put the book down. It tells the story of a couple who bought the house and how they had to deal with the spirits, who did not seem harmful, how they affected the children, and what happened to their lives. The lady tells the story first hand.
If you are looking for a book of this type, it is good. Easy to read. And the back of the book lists other paranormal/ghost/haunted books...
Another book I picked up was called Haunted America -- it lists many different places and investigations through out the USA. A hard cover book that is smaller, and even had an older publication date, but seemed to be interesting as well...
And lastly, Book World in Manitowoc -- grrrrrr. Terry and Chad:, you need to call there, and ask if they have your book. Pose to be a customer. They cannot find it in search, or never heard of it. The lady was busy eating potato chips. And wanted me to look for the book in new Age, and then Regional. Nothing. I pointed it out to her, and she was not that willing to help. I spelled out your names, and she still could not come up with anything, and was hesitant to take an order or inquiry.
I actually was on a mission to get another book of yours, one for the car, and one for home (the signed one from last October, so it does not get dog eared or bent).
So, guess who was a former secret shopper?
Yep, me. I got paid for it, and loved doing it. But with the job I work now, it's impossible. I miss it, still do occasional projects in Appleton or Fox City area, but not locally... imagine over 10 years of secret shopping at the best places, down the drain...
