"Holy Ghosts took me into a completely convincing but very
different version of reality from the one we live in. It serves as
a forceful and fascinating reminder that we do not see the world
that is, but only the part we have chosen to see. There are dangers
and wonders in the dark, and Holy Ghosts affirms that they are very
real." -Whitley Strieber, author of Communion
"I have always believed in ghosts, paranormal phenomena, and
miracles. But I've never read a book that tells of chills and
ghosts in the house from a Catholic perspective. I read the book in
a sitting. There are more than a few spine- tingling scares here,
offered in such a benign, even life-affirming way, that we end up
enlightened, entertained, and charmed." -Beverly Donofrio, author
of Looking for Mary and Riding in Cars with Boys
"Gary Jansen will both creep you out and educate you on the nature
of 'earthbound spirits.' His tale of the spirits haunting his
family home, and of helping them cross over to the next world, is a
thrilling treat that I couldn't put down. Jansen tells the best
kind of ghost story-the true kind!" -Julia Scheeres, author of
Jesus Land
"Gary Jansen's Holy Ghosts is a haunting memoir of both the
paranormal and the heartbreakingly down-to-earth. By turns
scholarly, comic, and creepy, Jansen shows us the ghosts in his
house as well as his heart. Spellbinding and wise, this trip to the
supernatural eventually returns us home, providing a deeper
understanding of our faith, our fears, and the people we love."
Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She's Not There and Falcon Quinn
and the Black Mirror
"If you think ghosts might exist, you will thoroughly enjoy this
startling personal account of things that go bump in the night. If
you don't think they exist, do not read this book after midnight.
You have been warned." -Dean Radin, author
of Supernormal and The Conscious Universe
"[A]n eerie, well-told ghost story." -Library Journal“Holy Ghosts
is more than just a gripping true story about ghosts haunting his
family’s home and how he got them to leave. I thoroughly enjoyed
the fascinating history that Jansen, an editor at Doubleday
Religion, incorporates into the story about the Catholic Church and
its beliefs in spirits, angels, and demons...His writing style is
engaging and informative; I couldn’t stop reading..” -Publishers
Weekly
