The Ghost Who Would Not Die: A Runaway Slave, A Brutal Murder, A Mysterious Haunting

You Won't Be Able To Put It Down!

Once more Ms. Dewey comes to print with a compelling story from the spirit world. The book is a good read, and won't be able to put the book down until the very end. It is a touching true story about a former slave and his journey through life and beyond.

"The Ghost who would not die" is the absolute best book I have ever read.

First off... "The Ghost who would not die" is the absolute best book
I have ever read. After hearing an interview on Jim Harold's paranormal podcast I
purchased this book that same day. Then, I read the book in two days. The writing is just superb! The style jumps off the page, & the historical references combined with Jacobs' personality (not to mention the spiritual info and the insights on the OS) is exactly what what made it so compelling to me. Oprah reallly should read this book, It would blow her mind. Not that i am into all the books Oprah is into, but this one would be perfect for her book list and will probably be one of her faves as well. It was like reading a diary that started in the days of slavory, went all the way through life and didn't stop after death. Now that is cool! Who has ever done that? A true ghost story about the Other Side, but with life and death being like two sides of the coin, life is not just about the moments you are living, because nothing stops when your body ends. Read it, it will blow you away!

GREAT BOOK

This book is amazing! I can't say enough about this book other than buy it and see for yourself. I've had friends read this book and feel the same way. I really can't say enough about it. I feel the same way about the author's other book as well.

The Ghost Who would not die

Great book! For anyone interested in the supernatural this book is a gem. It is true story of a slave during the civil war and his journey during and after his life. It is an incredible look back into history as well as a fascinating journey of life after death.

A must read from Linda Alice Dewey

"I feel I owe it to those left behind to let you know what you got to look forward to if you don't tend to yourself where you are right now" J. Johnson<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> Thus begins chapter one in The Ghost Who Would Not Die by Linda Alice Dewey. Ms. Dewey is a unique author in that the stories she tells do not come from her imagination; rather, they come from the spirits who lived AND died. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> Impossible, you think. Well, as a paranormal investigator, I believe it is possible. My journey with Ms. Dewey began with her first book, Aaron's Crossing. This story was also a tale communicated to Linda from a spirit. It talks about Aaron's life and death and gave wonderful insight into the afterlife. Being such a huge fan of Aaron's Crossing, I couldn't wait until The Ghost Who Would Not Die became available. Not only do I enjoy Linda's style, I was also looking forward to the added insight I would gain. I thought of that insight only in terms of the paranormal knowledge I would obtain. What surprised me the most: I gained so much more. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> Although The Ghost Who Would Not Die is about the afterlife, i.e., the dead, I learned about living from this book. Jacobs, the runaway slave whose story is being told, advises the living throughout the book on the best ways to live your life and to insure that your afterlife runs more smoothly than his did. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> I realize there are skeptics in the world who will believe the book is entirely a work of fiction. That's fine. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, this book is an interesting read, and I defy anyone to walk away from it without having gained something they can use. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> I wholeheartedly recommend The Ghost Who Would Not Die. From the time you meet Jacobs to the time you finish the book, you will be engrossed in every detail. If you open your mind, you might learn about one possibility with regards to the afterlife. More importantly, I'm hoping you will take with you LIFE lessons as well. I know I did.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> "People think it ain't at all the way the Lord promised. But you know, that ain't true. It's exactly what He said--it just ain't the way you took it." J. Johnson<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> Open your mind, read this book, and enjoy it as much as I have. I leave you with my favorite quote from Jacobs..."I used life, but never made use of life. That's the problem.¿

Great read!

A truly wonderful story about the life and death of a runaway slave during the Civil War, his path down the Underground Railroad and his problems finding a way into the afterlife. <BR/><BR/>This book reads like a fictional novel in a non-fictional way - what the author calls "creative non-fiction." The spirit channeled his full story through to Miss Dewey after he finally moved on and in turn we get this fine read which I was not able to put down. <BR/><BR/>Not knowing what I was about to read I glanced at a couple of pages only to drop the book I had been currently reading to finish this book in 2 days. As I've seen a few times now, the only problem is the book is not long enough because you just don't want it to end. I couldn't have loved this book more.<BR/><BR/>The author's first book, Aaron's Crossing, will definitely be next on my list to read.
