This book is a journey of searching and trying to understand the paranormal. For more than thirty years, I have experienced some form of paranormal activity.

Then, my first EVP capture on tape in my childhood home. 
The book goes further into my experiences in several different schools and states, such as my experiences at a school in West Virginia. While not ghostly per se, the experiences had a paranormal feel to them.
