Welcome to Russia ... the most haunted nation on earth. They are the damned, the forgotten--those who cry out to let us know they lived. They are all ages and sexes. They remain earthbound for many reasons--duty, devotion, a sense of responsibility, but most of all for the simplest and most compelling reason of all: love. Come explore the vast land that is Russia, from the metropolitan streets of Moscow to the windswept steppes and farflung plains of Siberia. Discover the strange tales of those whose lives have continued long after their bodies perished, and whose restless spirits yet leave footprints in the Russian snows. Footprints in the Snow: True Stories of Haunted Russia is a reporter's view of documentable paranormal incidents. The stories are told though the eyes of a professional skeptic, one who does not "see ghosts behind every tree." Statistically, more than 96% of all such stories turn out to be quite natural in origin. There are exceptions.
