A GHOST IN THE ROOM
Supernatural Adventures in Historic Houses

Author: Ann McDougall

Speaking to the dead is no simple matter. From fads to frauds, our attempts to connect with the supernatural shape our past and present

“Is this place haunted?” Staff at historic house museums are asked about ghosts on a daily basis, and these small museums strive to satisfy the public’s appetite for the occult with ghost walks, paranormal investigations, seance recreations and other supernatural programs. But what is it about historic spaces that sparks our interest in connecting with the other side? And how, exactly, does one speak to a spirit? In A Ghost in the Room, author Ann McDougall draws upon her decades of experience with historic houses across the country to share their tales of the supernatural, and investigate our enduring desire to communicate with the dead.
