It doesn't get much spookier than a true ghost story where things go bump in the night and ghost lights dark across the roof line. This is the tale of a family that lived in a house that was truly haunted by ghosts from the past.

Written in a style similar to the "Amityville Horror" author and homeowner Elaine Mercado, recounts the horrifying years that she and her family spend in their haunted home in Brooklyn, New York. This is the inspiring and sometimes spine tingling story of a family that experienced objects moving from place to place, ghostly lights, disembodied voices, strange smells and suffocating night dreams. A story that will make all of us who have never experienced a haunting, grateful for our fate.

Grave's End is a wonderfully inspiring story about a family that braved the paranormal for years before seeking the help of a parapsychologist and medium. If you love true ghost stories, this is the book for you!
