A Ghost in the Room (Supernatural adventures in Historic Houses)

“Is this place haunted?” Staff at historic house museums are asked about ghosts on a daily basis, and these small museums strive to satisfy the public’s appetite for the occult with ghost walks, paranormal investigations, seance recreations, and other supernatural programs. But what is it about historic spaces that sparks our interest in connecting with the other side? And how, exactly, does one speak to a spirit? In A Ghost in the Room, author Ann McDougall draws upon her decades of experience with historic houses across North America to share their tales of the supernatural and investigate our enduring desire to communicate with the dead.
