She proceeds in the way \nany former Harvard Business School case writer would: she embarks upon a\n rigorous search for proof of the ghost’s existence and identity, \nexploring the literature and lore of ghosts; the practices of mediums, \npsychics, and “ghost busters;” and the various attempts that have been \nmade over the decades to verify ghostly sounds and sights through \nscientific methods. After visits to a psychic provide insights but not \nproof, Stanton enters the equally mysterious realms of physics and \nneurology, hoping science has answers. \n\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nNotables encountered during her research efforts include Henry James, \nArthur Conan Doyle, Oliver Sacks, and Sigmund Freud, the latter a \ncolleague of her home’s original owner. Wry and witty, Stanton takes \ntime out to laugh at her own futile attempts at ghost detection—spending\n a sleepless night in an allegedly haunted bedroom, creeping along the \nedges of rooms in search of cold spots—along the way. Determined to get \nto the bottom of the ghost business, Stanton wavers between skepticism \nand belief, searching for definitive evidence—and almost failing to find\n it. Almost.","brand":"SparkPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44803539337471,"sku":"9781684630349","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_506ee016-55f4-43ac-a6ed-dfb7853524b6.jpg?v=1773240966","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781684630349","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
