More About This Book

Overview

A guide for anyone seeking encounters with apparitions, this book is a comprehensive look at the paranormal activity surrounding Seattle and Puget Sound. Stories hailing from the area's unique history abound, enabling paranormal adventurers to see beyond the surface of various locations throughout the area. Detailed descriptions and historical background guide readers to sites of various natural disasters, tragedies, criminal activities, and ghostly legends and lore.
Suggested stops include the Manresa Castle, noted to be one of the most haunted buildings in America, and the parade grounds of Fort Worden Park, where readers can take a stroll in search of ghostly orbs and spectral odors. Dwyer seeks the ghost of Eddie Hammond, guiding the reader along as an ethereal play unfolds, and visits with the spirit of Catherine at the E.R. Rogers restaurant as she dines with the patrons. Dwyer's extensive knowledge and research guarantee many spectacular, well-informed accounts.
Numerous experiences with ghosts around the country have led author Jeff Dwyer to write books based on his extensive research. He is the author of Ghost Hunter's Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area, Ghost Hunter's Guide to Los Angeles, and Ghost Hunter's Guide to New Orleans, all published by Pelican.

Praise for Ghost Hunter's Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area:

"I am thoroughly impressed with Jeff Dwyer's Ghost Hunter's Guide and would recommend it to all, from total novice to professional investigator."
--Steven Moreno, president, PSI Applications

"This is a book that is a good guide to its subject, but it is also a pleasant read, even if you seldom leave your chair!"
--Portland (OR) Statesman Journal

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Clinical cardiology specialist Jeff Dwyer possesses four college degrees, including a doctorate, but perhaps his greatest claim to fame is his apparently successful pursuit of ghosts. Over the years, Dwyer has tracked down numerous spectral beings, documenting their sometimes unnerving presence in several books. Like its predecessors, his Ghost Hunter's Guide to Seattle and Puget Sound blends descriptions and historical background. It covers more than 70 sites in the region and contains several useful appendices containing research material, intent resources, and other contact information. A well-executed labor of love.
