Sallie House Haunting Book Review

For those of you that have been checking in for a new post, I am sorry that I have not posted anything new for awhile. I was waiting to do this first book review post until after the Holidays because as we all know they can get crazy and I wanted to be able to give this full concentration! Anyway, here goes...

I picked up this book a Barnes ans Noble a few years ago. For som reason it took me two years to actually pick it up and read it. The book is called "The Sallie House Haunting" by Debra Pickman. The book is about Mrs. Pickman's first hand account of the few years her and her husband spent in the paranormally active house in Atchison Kansas. Atchison is about an hour North-West of Kansas City, and arguably one of the most paranormally active towns in North America.
The book starts with Mrs. Pickman being pregnant with their first son. They moved into the seemingly quiet home ready to start a family. Right off the bat they started noticing strange things happening, such as, lights dimming by themselves then coming back on at full wattage, and subtle small things happening writing it off as one of the cats or dogs.
When the baby came activity increased ten fold, such as scratches and teddy bears moving on their own. This was when Mrs. Pickman decided to contact a psychic named Barbra, who agreed to come to the house and try and contact the spirit. When she arrived at the house she immediately sensed a spirit named Sallie. She then allowed Sallie to speak through Barbra, finding out that Sallie was a little girl. I will stop there before I go into details and completely ruin the book......

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Upset with myself that it took 2 years for me to pick it up. After reading a few Paranormal book flops I was really afraid that this was going to yet be another "FLOP". I was  pleasantly surprised when I COULD NOT put the book down!
I really love the way Mrs. Pickman recounts her experiences with first telling the phenomenon then  they tried to de-bunk the experience. Giving full account of where people are in the room at the time of the phenomenon and so on.

I STRONGLY suggest this book!
I hope you pick it up and read it! Please comment with your thoughts! I would love to hear what you have to say about it!

Coming up!

The Sleeper

By Edgar Allan Poe

At midnight, in the month of June,

I stand beneath the mystic moon.

An opiate vapor, dewy, dim,

Exhales from out her golden rim,

And softly dripping, drop by drop,

Upon the quiet mountain top,

Steals drowsily and musically

Into the universal valley.

The rosemary nods upon the grave;

The lily lolls upon the wave;

Wrapping the fog about its breast,

The ruin moulders into rest;

Looking like Lethe, see! the lake

A conscious slumber seems to take,

And would not, for the world, awake.

All Beauty sleeps!—and lo! where lies

Irene, with her Destinies!

Oh, lady bright! can it be right—

This window open to the night?

The wanton airs, from the tree-top,

Laughingly through the lattice drop—

The bodiless airs, a wizard rout,

Flit through thy chamber in and out,

And wave the curtain canopy

So fitfully—so fearfully—

Above the closed and fringéd lid

’Neath which thy slumb’ring soul lies hid,

That, o’er the floor and down the wall,

Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall!

Oh, lady dear, hast thou no fear?

Why and what art thou dreaming here?

Sure thou art come o’er far-off seas,

A wonder to these garden trees!

Strange is thy pallor! strange thy dress!

Strange, above all, thy length of tress,

And this all solemn silentness!

The lady sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,

Which is enduring, so be deep!

Heaven have her in its sacred keep!

This chamber changed for one more holy,

This bed for one more melancholy,

I pray to God that she may lie

Forever with unopened eye,

While the pale sheeted ghosts go by!

My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,

As it is lasting, so be deep!

Soft may the worms about her creep!

Far in the forest, dim and old,

For her may some tall vault unfold—

Some vault that oft hath flung its black

And wingéd pannels fluttering back,

Triumphant, o’er the crested palls

Of her grand family funerals—

Some sepulchre, remote, alone,

Against whose portals she hath thrown,

In childhood, many an idle stone—

Some tomb from out whose sounding door

She ne’er shall force an echo more,

Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!

It was the dead who groaned within.

Alright so I have decided to make this my Paranormal blog. I am an aspiring Paranormal investigator so I have decided make this a place where people can come and read about Paranormal things. Anyway stay tuned for more!
