House of Spirits and Whispers
Well, how sweet is this recounting, as told by Annie Wilder, about the many ghosts who live in her 100 year old house in Minnesota. Annie Wilder has a real knack for writing an easy to read, well written and engaging ghost story. It’s nice to read a ghostly book that’s written by a professional writer, as it had that touch of elegance to the writing.
If you’re an aspiring ghost hunter, this book may or may not be for you. Annie didn’t spend too much time on detailed narratives with regard to the manifestations. What she did do, was share her family and her ghost family with the world.
Since I’m living in Z Budapest’s 100 year old house, I could totally relate to the bitter sweetness of these tales. Every now and again, you see a ghost and it’s no big deal. Like the spirits in Annie’s house, ours are also sort of guardians looking over us. It’s just a part of existence.
Sometimes the communications are gentle and sometimes they will cost you a few white hairs. Annie’s ghosts are no exception. Their spooky communications cost that family more than one good night’s sleep. And to top it off, Annie’s haunted abode is across the street from a funeral home. So, she gets her share of spirits just passing through.
What you get in this book is a solid story of a mother’s love for her children and in time, her respect and caring for the spirits that share her home. I like that Annie shares the course of her discoveries and resources as she grows and learns to develop her own psychic abilities. Sometimes, life sets us on a path to self-discovery that can be scary and joyous at the same time.
The House of Spirits and Whispers is a cautionary tale in the realm of the unknown that ends in the serenity of love. It’s a nice read. If you’d like to read it for yourself, then get your own copy of House of Spirits and Whispers here.
