About this audiobook
Mumbled voices in an empty attic, heavy footsteps on the stairs when all in the house are asleep, darting shadows across a darkened room . . .
It should come as no surprise that with the dawn of the digital age, people have turned their new technology toward the mysterious stories they’ve heard or events they’ve personally experienced. Here, in the dusky gloom where traditional science has refused to enter, a new breed of investigator has introduced us to the strange sounds and weird images from these nocturnal adventures.
Like most people, Jeff Cole has always been intrigued by aspects of the paranormal?does the human spirit endure after the body dies, and are there such things as ghosts? Though the deeper questions are best left to priests and scholars, his investigations of well- and lesser-known historical sites indicate the existence of a truly inexplicable phenomenon.
Ghostly Encounters chronicles Cole’s journey into the world of ghost hunting, other ghost hunting groups he has met, and the team he ultimately joins. Ghostly Encounters also provides a first-person account of the haunted locations explored, historical background and context to these sites, and audio and video clips so the reader can experience some of the startling evidence captured during these investigations.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Follows a man on his journey into ghost hunting. Trying out various groups until he finds one where he seems to fit in. He seems to be a bit in awe of a couple of the paranormal investigator shows that were on tv at the time it was written. There's a couple of chapters on tech gadgets and his opinions and what is good and bad etc which I basically skimmed through. The investigations themselves were nicely reviewed, but he relies to much on QR codes that no longer work. I tried several of them and it just links to a page for the book on the publisher's website. It would have been nice to have what was in them explained in the text as well. At times it leaves you wanting more. But good buck over all.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was a somewhat interesting book, although I did find it quite boring at times. It was nothing like I expected it to be. This was basically a how-to book to be a paranormal investigator. There were many stories of the adventures had by the author, however when it came to the parts where the experiences should have been elaborated upon, the author would insert links to his website to hear and or see what they had recorded. That is all well and good, but I wanted to see and hear these things in words from the author, and learn of his reactions. The links should have been listed maybe at the end of the book. The links on my kindle app on my iPad did not work, so I would have to leave my reading then actually look up the website to try to access the recording. And living in the country with total sucky Internet, sometimes it would take me 10 minutes to access it.....if I was lucky. Much of the book was about the history of each place visited, which was fine. And much of the book was about the technical aspects of the equipment used, and how it compared to equipment used by the TV ghost hunters. Basically, this boiled down to a disappointing experience for me.
