People Died to Get into Jeff Belanger's New Book, 'The Ghost Files'

Bellingham, Massachusetts (PRWEB) September 18, 2007 -- You're dead. Now what? That's the big question that has perplexed mankind since the dawn of humanity. When a person experiences what they perceive to be a ghost, that big question is answered. In Jeff Belanger's new book, The Ghost Files: Paranormal Encounters, Discussion, and Research from the Vaults of Ghostvillage.com, he explores the supernatural from the perspective of eyewitnesses, experts, religion, and even the skeptics.

In 1999, Jeff Belanger launched the Web site Ghostvillage.com with the intent of starting an objective and open global discussion on ghosts. What began as six simple Web pages in 1999 has exploded into over 150,000 pages of content with contributions from around the world. Culled from the pages and files of Ghostvillage.com and from Belanger's extensive research, The Ghost Files is a paranormal "best-of." The book offers dozens of personal and profound accounts of ghost encounters; feature articles that explore specific aspects of the subject such as: possession, ghost investigation, psychics, folklore, historic haunts, spirit communication, skepticism, and animal spirits; and much more.

"The Ghost Files is for fans of ghost stories, paranormal investigators, and for those who want to explore the many facets of the supernatural experience," said Jeff Belanger, author of The Ghost Files and founder of Ghostvillage.com. "Over the years, I've had the opportunity to exchange ideas with so many people on this paranormal topic that I wanted to write a book that would be my definitive work on not only the where and when of ghosts, but also delve into the hows and whys."

"Punctuated by real people's experiences, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the paranormal--or anyone who's had an experience themselves," said parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach, author of Hauntings and Poltergeists: A Ghost Hunter's Guide.
