I grew up with my dad telling us ghost "Stories" we'd hid under the dinning room table later. AND years later I often wonder how much was a good story and how much was what he experienced. No wonder I am what I am Sam!This is a book I'll be chacking out.

Book Description
Peter Aykroyd spent his childhood watching his family's parlor sances through the crack of a basement door. Here, for the first time, Aykroyd tells the strange and delightful story that inspired his son, Dan, to make the mega-hit, Ghostbusters. Part history, part family legend, A History of Ghosts starts in 1848 in upstate New York, where the spiritualist craze first began. Aykroyd introduces the reader to notable mediums while telling the story of the development of spiritualism, interweaving a personal history marked by a fascination with ghosts and spirits with the larger narrative about the role the paranormal has played in our culture. Such legendary figures as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini appear and vanish. Everyone loves a good ghost story. Successful TV shows such as Medium and Ghost Hunters are proof that our national obsession with ghosts is here to stay. Millions of Americans believe in the paranormal-and even skeptics have heard a bump in the night and suspected it might be something supernatural.
ABOUT THE PHOTO:It is forbidden to use tripods inside the St Peter's basilica in the Vatican, therefore you need to find ways to shoot despite the lack of light. I Have been numerous times to Rome and my first shots inside the basilica were very disappointing for this lack of light.. This time I played differently and have brought back some nice shots IMO...;-)
This is like a tribute to my first missed shots, for I deliberately played with the speed factor to willingly obtain this blur on three passing nuns. I personally like the result showing "ghosts in the vatican".page:https://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo46928.htm
