This edition of House of Spirits and Whispers features a new preface from the author, photographs, and bonus material We had been instructed to enter by the back door. That's the part of the house where the old man had lived. It was where he still lived. Turns out he was watching us that day, too, silent and heavy as the air, bound to the earth and his former home.We had been instructed to enter by the back door. In 1994, Annie Wilder and her children moved into a 100-year-old house in a historic Mississippi River town. Beautiful but spooky, the house had been on the market for six months with no offers. It felt like-and proved to be-a very haunted house. Essentially the story of a remarkable old Victorian house that seems to be a threshold to the spirit world and the astral realm, House of Spirits and Whispers has a backstory of the Wilder family's relationship with the ghost of the home's previous owner, an old man named Leon. Covering a decade's worth of ghostly activity and supernatural encounters, from whispering radiators to visits and appearances from all manner of spirits and entities, this unusual story is the true account of Annie Wilder's experiences living in a haunted house.

Do ancient curses actually exist? Are there really such things as haunted bogs, ghosts, wayward spirits, the "Skin Walker"? Science and logic repeatedly say not. However, if you search these topics on your computer, you'll find countless videos and stories that cannot be explained any other way. Sure, some are fake, most of them maybe. But some indicate that there is more out there than we realize. Those who manage to find their way out of the haunted woods report life-changing experiences, often rife with regret. What they saw or heard can never be "unseen". "Whispers From The Haunted Woods" takes the reader into the realm of the unknown. Hidden in the north Georgia forests lie graves, remnants, faint traces of habitation, evidence that someone was there before the white settlers first came to North America. Places long forgotten and undisturbed. Ask the locals and they will tell you why they give these areas a wide berth. Something there could still be alive and active. Something that wants to be left alone. This is the story of a group of Boy Scouts gone rogue. Seeking an ill-gotten lost treasure, ignoring the danger signs, they decide to go off the main trail into the unknown of the deep woods. What they find, and, more importantly, what finds them, gives credence to the local's fears. Are ancient curses real? Yes they are!

Was his family in danger? Would the house trap them, too?
