Story
I'm a 64-year-old retired lawyer and former Assistant Attorney General with an unusual story to tell. Every word of it is true. It happened in a state park known as Devil's Den. For fear of losing my job and damaging my reputation in the legal community, I never spoke about the incident. If it hadn't happened to me, I'd be skeptical too. In 1977, I was an active duty NCO in the USAF. A friend and I planned a two-night camping trip to explore the wilderness. We drove deep into the forest until we came to a high plateau. There on the horizon sat a perfect triangle of three very bright stars....

College professor Stephen Barlow needs cash. Badly. He puts his skepticism aside and signs on to a paranormal research organization in the hopes of scoring a fat bonus. Enter Chaythe Asylum: a long-shuttered and controversial institution where patients were allegedly subjected to unethical experiments. Stephen deems the old building, closed in 1989 after a series of grisly murders, as good a place as any to explore the possibility of the supernatural, and arranges to take a tour with his students. But it turns out that the asylum is not as abandoned as it seems. There is something sinister in the building.

Story
What happens to consciousness during the act of dying? The most compelling answers come from people who almost die and later recall events that occurred while lifesaving resuscitation, emergency care, or surgery was performed. These events are now called near-death experiences (NDEs). As medical and surgical skills improve, innovative procedures can bring back patients who have traveled farther on the path to death than at any other time in history. Physicians and healthcare professionals must learn how to appropriately treat patients who report an NDE.

Story
When Henry Nicholls was 21, he was diagnosed with narcolepsy: a medical disorder causing him to fall asleep with no warning. For the healthy but overworked majority, this might sound like an enviable condition, but for Henry, the inability to stay awake is profoundly disabling, especially as it is accompanied by mysterious collapses called cataplexy, poor nighttime sleep, hallucinations and sleep paralysis. A writer and biologist, Nicholls explores the science of disordered sleep, discovering that around half of us will experience some kind of sleep dysfunction in our lives.

Story
Leading sleep researcher Rosalind Cartwright brings together decades of work on sleep, dreaming, and sleep disorders to propose a new theory of how the mind works continuously. Drawing on her own research and that of others, Cartwright describes how conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings move forward - from waking, into sleep and dreaming, to the next waking day. One main purpose of sleep is to regulate disturbing emotions. Not everyone does this successfully every night.
Summary
You've just laid down for the night when suddenly doors slam and the curtains shift. The lights begin to flicker and a white mist forms in front of you. You shut your eyes and keep muttering, "ghosts aren't real." But then you open your eyes and realize that "harmless" mist has shifted into the form of a man, staring intensely at you, as he floats above your bed.
What causes ghostly experiences?
Are ghosts real?
Why do certain people report numerous ghostly encounters and others none?
For centuries these questions have intrigued, puzzled, and bedeviled science, skeptics, and even believers. Based on cutting-edge research and new theories, The Ghost Studies provides insight into some of life's greatest mysteries.
This fascinating book is far more than a compilation of ghost stories. The Ghost Studies provides scientific explanations for paranormal occurrences, including:
- New and exciting scientific theories that explain apparitions, hauntings, and communications from the dead.
- The latest research on the role of energy and electricity in hauntings.
- The role that emotions, bioenergetics, and the environment play in supernatural phenomena.
- New research into why some individuals are more prone to ghostly encounters.

Changed my view on the paranormal
I wasn't expecting much from this but it ended up being fantastic I love the way that set out the idea that most paranormal experiences derived from electromagnetic sources it's all set out very well and backed up with studies and evidence creating not only a very good book but probably one of the best explanations for paranormal experiences I've heard

Latest Paranormal theories and sceintific research
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have a long time interest in the paranormal after experiencing events that I cannot explain and having worked for years in the mental health profession with various kinds of psychotic people. In truth, I still take a "I can't prove it, can't disapprove it" sort of approach to the subject. Thankfully, Brandon Massullo uses the latest in scientific based theory to explore various ideas on not only whether or not the paranormal actually exists, but what might be people experiencing if not the paranormal.
What did you like best about this story?
I am totally interested in the idea of how electromagnetic fields impact people, and how there seems to be a collective memory or a "collective unconscious" in the environment of known locations that are haunted. Massullo presents all this in a way that is not too boringly technical, yet still gives enough information to expand one's own knowledge on the subject.
What does Jeff Cummings bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Cummings gives a sold performance as the narrator. He does not get in the way of the story, and his voice is reasonably pleasing. There is an energy to his presentation that prompts one to keep exploring the text.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Go to where the scientific method breaks down and is way over it's head." Massullo is not Rupert Sheldrake when it comes to exploring that which can't be explained by science. Still, he is a working class version that gives the everyday guy like myself a glimpse into the latest theories of the paranormal without making them too technical or boring.
Any additional comments?
This is a good find! Thanks, Audible.

Interesting theories based on unproven science.
"Spoilers ahead"
Some of the ideas in this book sound interesting but there is no proof that these events really happened or that they even could happen. The main idea to this book is that ghosts and hauntings might be emotional trauma imprinted on an area and not an actual spirit. My biggest problem with this is there is no proof that emotions can be recorded and then attached to an area. What is the emotion attached to, subspace or some physic alternate reality? The idea's fall apart the moment logic is introduced to the subject. Unless I slept through part of the book that explains this, there's just no way to take these theories seriously.

A good book covering an interesting topic
This was one of the most intelligent and unbiased books concerning the paranormal that I have ever had pleasure of reading/listening to. It doesn't trail off into the woo and claim that everything is mystical nor does it claim that everything can be explained with science. Instead it was refreshingly logical and balanced.
