Penny Lane, Paranormal Investigator: The Ouija Board Mystery

I recently found out about a book called Penny Lane, Paranormal Investigator: The Ouija Board Mystery, and I thought some of you might be interested, so of course I had to share the info here. : ) The book is by David J. Cooper, and here's the description:

"When Alicia is injured in an accident, and then subsequently dies as a result, while she and her friends are fooling around during their school break, it leaves an entire community devastated.
Following her funeral, and intent on contacting her again, her friends foolishly obtain a Ouija board and conduct a séance.
It seems that they manage to make contact with Alicia, but it soon becomes apparent that they have, in fact, released an entity which is malevolent and which soon begins to threaten them with revenge for Alicia’s death.
Fearing for their lives and unable to stop the presence they seek the help of paranormal investigator, Penny Lane. She tells the girls that they must destroy it and gives them detailed instructions on how to do it.
But before they can even make a start the group are rocked by another death. And as the body count begins to rise, and several of Alicia’s friends are killed in mysterious circumstances, it becomes a race against time to destroy an evil before it kills them all."

I haven't read it yet, but it definitely sounds like something I'd enjoy...if you think you'd enjoy it too, here's the Amazon link:



Also, I wanted to note that a different book by the author (The Devil Knows) will be free April 3rd-5th, so here's the link in case any of you want to check it out. : )

The Real Lady Ghostbusters

Since the new Ghostbusters movie is coming out soon, and I'm not a whiny idiot who thinks a remake with female Ghostbusters can somehow ruin a childhood that already happened, I thought it would be a good time to share this article I came across called "The Real Lady Ghostbusters: Meet the Most Influential Female Paranormal Investigators in the Field Today." Some of the women included in the article are Amy Bruni (formerly of Ghost Hunters), Amy Allan from The Dead Files, and Lorraine Warren, who is probably the world's most well-known female paranormal investigator (thanks in part to The Conjuring). : )

Book Spotlight: More Than Ghosts by Alex Matsuo

When I went to AtomaCon last November, I attended two panels by Alex Matsuo, founder and director of the Association of Paranormal Study. Her panels on haunted theaters and demonology were so interesting that it really made me want to read her books, so I started with More Than Ghosts: A Guide to Working Residential Cases in the Paranormal Field, which was published in 2015. In the book, Matsuo teaches the correct way for paranormal investigators to effectively handle residential cases, touching on things such as the differences between investigating residential locations and public locations, researching a property's history before an investigation, equipment you'll need, and how to protect yourself during an investigation.

Though I don't actually want to take part in a paranormal investigation, I find the subject fascinating, and Matsuo clearly knows her stuff. More Than Ghosts is very in-depth and informative, and Matsuo gives the information in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. If you've ever thought about getting involved in paranormal investigation, you should really read this book. : )

My rating: 10/10
