This book, Holy Ghosts by Gary Jansen, is a personal narrative exploring the author's journey from a skeptical Catholic to a believer in supernatural phenomena like ghosts, angels, and demons. Jansen recounts strange occurrences in his home, which prompt him to research the Catholic Church's stance on spirits and paranormal activity, consulting both theological texts and a medium. The narrative weaves together his personal experiences, including family history involving a train crash and a mother with psychic visions, with broader discussions of religious beliefs across various cultures regarding the spirit world and reincarnation. Ultimately, the book details his efforts to understand and interact with the earthbound spirits he believes inhabit his house, leading to a profound shift in his understanding of faith and reality.
