  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Everyone loves a good ghost story. Perhaps the human fascination with the supernatural stems from the fact that most of us, at some point in our lives, have experienced something we couldn't quite explain. From a very young age James Van Praagh was aware of a dimension that most of us cannot see, and he has dedicated his life to explaining it to the rest of us. &lt;i&gt;Ghosts Among Us&lt;/i&gt; takes us on an incredible journey into the spirit world that brings to light one of our greatest mysteries&amp;#151;what happens to us after we die? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Van Praagh, the &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; bestselling author and co-executive producer of the CBS series &lt;i&gt;The Ghost Whisperer&lt;/i&gt;, shares his knowledge and life experience about ghosts, a subject that can seem to many of us both bizarre and terrifying. But when the world beyond is explained fully by an experienced guide, dismissal and apprehension can be turned into knowledge and inspiration. With incredible true ghost stories and surprising details about how ghosts actively participate in our lives, Van Praagh challenges us to question our perceptions and shows us how we can live more fully through understanding the world of spirits. Including eerily accurate readings, the author's development as a medium, and detailed how-to information, &lt;i&gt;Ghosts Among Us&lt;/i&gt; is an all-encompassing guide to the supernatural. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

It's not so much whether I believe everything he has to say about the after-life -- it's more that I like to see a view of life from a perspective that is so unique.

    <body><![CDATA[Van Praagh, the New York Times bestselling author and co-executive producer of the CBS series The Ghost Whisperer, shares his knowledge and life experience about ghosts, a subject that can seem to many of us both bizarre and terrifying. But when the world beyond is explained fully by an experienced ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25776544">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Are you kidding me?!  James Van Praagh couldn't be more full of himself.  How disappointing that he thinks we're all idiots.  Why does he see your ghost only after you've told him your sad story?  Why does he see mostly famous people like Lincoln and Roy Orbison?  Give me a break!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Seriously? A few good &quot;ghost&quot; stories but that is about all I take away from it. He lost me when he started talking about &quot;Guides of a Higher Order&quot;. Where did he get this from? I also must note that I do believe in ghosts! :) ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book.  It was amazing to me.  I loved the talk of healing thoughts, chakras, spirit guides, etc.  I believe it and don't doubt for a second that we have spirit guides who are with us every minute of the day, watching out for us and guiding us.

    <body><![CDATA[Recommended to me by Colleen.<br/><br/>Well this was a tricky, tricky book. Some aspects of it I enjoyed, some made me very uncomfortable and some parts made me laugh out loud. I do love true ghost stories, but I was uncomfortable with all of the talk about what death feels like.
