If a ghost lives in a house but no one experiences it, does it make a haunting?

Told through conversations with skeptics, sensitives, parapsychologists, investigators, and haunted-house dwellers — interwoven with vivid accounts of real experiences and visits to famously haunted locations — MacDonald proposes an unsettling idea: Perhaps it isn’t the places that are haunted, but the people who move through them. Perhaps we have more in common with ghosts than we think.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48391934705919,"sku":"9781770418226","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781770418226_s600x595.jpg?v=1777474911","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781770418226","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
