Soon-to-be released

In the Presence of Spirits is my soon-to-be released book about ghosts and the paranormal. It’s a true account of the haunting my family and I lived through in the 1980′s, including a disturbing spate of poltergeist activity which we endured for five years.

In the Presence of Spirits bears all the hallmarks of a Hollywood horror movie, except my story is very real. We experienced all the classic signs of a haunting; including inexplicable sounds and smells and household items moving of their own accord. As time went on the signs became more unmistakable; the manifestations more sinister. It also became apparent that the poltergeist’s focus was me. I was hissed at from the darkness and restrained by unseen hands. I was slapped and shoved; doors slammed in my face. Despite happening over twenty years ago, the memories are vivid and still make me shudder.

What are the repercussions of living through this kind of nightmare? Surely no one can emerge unscathed. In the Presence of Spirits takes the reader through the aftermath, to see what scars remained and the measures it took to heal them. What began as my personal horror story has evolved into a life-affirming path I am grateful to have traveled.

In the Presence of Spirits follows my journey from fear into the light, and the spirits I have met along the way. These encounters have been both frightening and inspiring, but all have enriched me and shaped the person I have now become.

I no longer consider myself unlucky to have attracted the attention of spirits, and feel privileged to be in a position whereby I have been given concrete proof that the spirit world exists. I now embrace these experiences as continual reminders that life is so much more than our material existence suggests, and relish my daily reminders that death is by no means the end.
