Overview

The extraordinary true story of a Long Island household haunting that forced a respected writer to confront the truth about life, death, his childhood home, and his town's past.

What People Are Saying

Beverly Donofrio
I have always believed in ghosts, paranormal phenomena, and miracles. But I've never read a book that tells of chills and ghosts in the house from a Catholic perspective. I read the book in a sitting. There are more than a few spine-tingling scares here, offered in such a benign, even life-affirming way, that we end up enlightened, entertained, and charmed. (Beverly Donofrio, author of Looking for Mary and Riding in Cars with Boys)
Jennifer Finney Boylan
Gary Jansen's Holy Ghosts is a haunting memoir of both the paranormal and the heartbreakingly down-to-earth. By turns scholarly, comic, and creepy, Jansen shows us the ghosts in his house as well as his heart. Spellbinding and wise, this trip to the supernatural eventually returns us home, providing a deeper understanding of our faith, our fears, and the people we love. (Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She's Not There and Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror)
Whitley Strieber
Holy Ghosts took me into a completely convincing but very different version of reality from the one we live in. It serves as a forceful and fascinating reminder that we do not see the world that is, but only the part we have chosen to see. There are dangers and wonders in the dark, and Holy Ghosts affirms that they are very real.

    An honest story of the journey from a skeptic to a believer.

    Gary Jansen writes with wit and clarity as he describes how he learned about the existence of Earth bound spirits living in his home for the most of his life. He struggled with the teachings of his religion, and the contradiction between what he was taught, and what he experienced. The book is hard to put down once you get started. It's an easy read, yet it is profound.

    Highly Recommened

    Born and raised in Rockville Centre, G. Janson hit it in the bulls eye with the village of RVC, and its history.
