With a gaggle of friends and equipment in tow, Wood (the medium) and
Kolek (the scientist) explore allegedly haunted New England houses,
restaurants, and historical sites. Kolek, the founder of the New England
Ghost Project, offers scientific explanations and observations regarding
the realm of the unknown while Wood flexes her ability to channel
the deceased, who appear in the form of ghosts and poltergeists.
The duo turn up their fair share of spooky phenomena, including phantom
infant cries, vanishing knickknacks and ghostly apparitions. More intense
encounters include an apparent exorcism in which a woman and her dog are
tortured by a poltergeist. Though the pair do a commendable job balancing
the spooky goings-on with rational explanations and a healthy measure of
doubt, it's difficult to believe this will convince a skeptic. Still,
the partners maintain a breezy excitement throughout, and the episodic
nature of each chapter makes for great serial before-bed reading.
