Synopsis

Nestled deep in Litchfield Hills, Connecticut, a 1790 farmhouse sits near the epicenter of a paranormal commotion. The family that resides there regularly encounters its own ancestors and strangers—human and non-human—who seemingly occupy the same physical space in our world while remaining in their own, parallel worlds. When famous ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated, they dubbed it "Ghost Central."

Here's your chance to unlock and experience the private diary of farmhouse resident Donna Fillie. This amazing record spans five decades and recounts a parade of uncanny occurrences, including notes from old friends who insist they didn't deliver them; a grandson playing with an invisible—but very real—friend; and Donna awakening to phenomena at precisely 12:42 a.m., an eerie correspondence to her house number, 1242.

This compelling work includes many other unexplainable details of a wide variety of phenomena that frequently occur in this otherwise normal area of Connecticut, which may also be the site of a secret military base.

There is something about Hall that I really like. I suppose what I like the most is that I can see his enthusiasm for the paranormal bubbling out of his research.

Makes you wonder what's really out there. Having had "ghostly" phenomenon happen all my life I read this book with an open mind and found many similarities in the types of things happening in that house to that family. Some things just defy explanation.......more
