The true story of a family and its ghosts
Lisa Rogers sensed that the house she bought with her husband Wes came with a ghost. But nothing prepared them for doors slamming on their own, objects flying, and the nightly appearance of a glowing green orb in their bedroom.
The men in the family wouldn’t—or couldn’t—accept the paranormal activity. While daughter Keshia grew attached to the grandmotherly ghost who taught her not to be afraid of thunderstorms and the Native American spirit who tucked her into bed, her brother Troy wasn’t quick to believe in their unearthly guests.
This amazing true story details two decades of terrifying, funny, and heartwarming paranormal encounters—the mischievous entity that imitates the voice of each family member, the spool that “comes to life” to chase the kids, the shocking events that shake Wes and Troy’s skepticism—and the enduring love that keeps the family together through it all.

Do you believe in ghosts? Well, if you do, then you’ll totally enjoy this story about the author, Lisa Rogers, experiences with the unknown. When I first saw this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but being a believer in the super natural, I was curious. Needless to say, it was an easy read and once I started, I couldn’t stop until I was finished. Having had my own experiences, I could easily relate to some of the events that took place. I found the story interesting and fascinating and it even cleared up some of my own questions I had.
The story starts out back in 1984 when the first green ‘orb’ is seen. She then tells us of events and experiences her and her family witness with different ‘ghosts’ and activities that take place through the years to the present time. Many people have a hard time believing in such things as items falling, doors opening, items disappearing and re-appearing in different places, but these are some of the things that went on, and even her husband wouldn’t admit it was a spirit causing these things. The story is well written and is told not to make a non-believer a believer, but to share her experiences and research findings.

The people (and ghosts) in this book are portrayed realistically without all the over-the-top hype that make you think of bad reality shows. I felt the individual reactions to their experiences were honest and are a truer representation of how most people would react in their situation. I could relate with many of the people in this book and couldn't put the book down. I recommend this to those who believe and to those who don't.

This book was informative, easy to read and easy to believe. I have no doubt this family experienced much more than is written here. I still don't know why some are "sensitive" and others aren't. I have tried to feel my mother's presence since she passed away. I can't feel her or anyone else. Even when I try.

I found this simple and easy to read, like talking to a girlfriend. It was entertaining and made me feel more comfortable with some of my own personal experiences.

This short, highly readable book tells the experiences of one family with the paranormal. Written with humor, the book explains ghosts in a "no big deal" way. Without trying to explain the reasons for their presence, the author makes it plain that they simply ARE, and tells of her own firsthand experiences. I found it very entertaining and interesting, as well as believable.

I can empathize with this author as i too lived in a haunted house in Spain. I always felt there was someone there, pictures fell off the wall regularly, it was always ice cold, even in summer. My husband never believed until the night a bottle of mouth wash flew across the hall and broke on the opposite wall. He became a believer that night. This book reminded me of those 8 months. Never want to do that again!!!!
