SOLVED. Looking for nonfiction paperback about a woman looking for a ghost in New Orleans. [s]

[Slackyb]

I'm looking for a nonfiction trade paperback I would have read about 2003. I think the title was simply Ghost, though I may be wrong about that. I think the cover might have been green. A woman is trying to find evidence of the existence of a ghost in New Orleans. As the story begins, she meets an unsavory man who tells her he can give her information if she meets him in a woods at night. In spite of the apparent danger, she agrees to meet him. She later encounters a woman in New Orleans who's wearing a strange piece of jewelry. The woman (if I remember correctly) tells her she's playing with fire. The ghost does certain things to the woman, such as writing messages in the dust on the TV in the woman's hotel room and arranging the coins on her dresser into piles. In spite of these incidents, the woman still doesn't think she has adequate evidence of the ghost. She's (apparently) hard to convince and wants to actually see a life size manifestation of the ghost. Thanks for your help.

OK. Thank you. This isn't the book, but I appreciate the interest. I once spent a night as a guest at the Myrtles. It deserves its reputation.

Ghost: Investigating the Other Side by Katherine Ramsland which has multiple cover images?

Great! Glad we could help. I got lucky with a Google search:

site:www.amazon.com non-fiction ghost woman "new orleans"

[Slackyb]

Excellent search terms. I just kept typing in "Ghost" over and over and getting lists of hundreds of books. Obviously I need to be more versatile with my search terms.

I find limiting a Google search to a specific site helps in this case. The book reviews on sites like Goodreads and Amazon are full of helpful keywords.

site:www.goodreads.com keyword "specific phrase"

I did all my searches on either Amazon or Half. The lack of search terms seems to have been the problem.
