A Knock in the Attic: True Ghost Stories & Other Spine-chilling Paranormal Adventures

by John Russell, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

A Knock in the True Ghost Stories & Other Spine-chilling Paranormal Adventures by John Russell is an engrossing, at times, disturbing nonfiction book in which the author narrates his supernatural experiences. At the tender age of five, John had his first encounter with a black ghost. The image of the old black man's face peering around one of the doorways from down the hall will always stay with him, and he refers to it as “the harbinger of the beginning” of his psychic, mediumistic, paranormal life, a life lived at the edge of the Veil which separates the seen and unseen worlds. This book is composed of stories that detail paranormal occurrences and experiences involving those who have passed on to another life. John has had run-ins with spirits, developed healing powers, and been saved by angels. His incredible experiences with the otherworldly creatures are recounted in this book, and they are stunning. This is a book that is filled with adventure and mind-blowing experiences, and the author provides ample proof that there is life beyond death, that those who have died still have the power to influence us, that the universe is a mystery that is bigger than our physical world. John Russell might have had and still has extraordinary experiences, but he also has the gift of storytelling which allows him to communicate his adventures in prose that is crisp and in a voice that is irresistible. A Knock in the True Ghost Stories & Other Spine-chilling Paranormal Adventures is a book that will entertain fans of the paranormal, but more importantly, it is one that will make any reader question existence and change what they think they know about life beyond the tomb. I was mesmerized by the writing and enamored by the experiences the author shares in this book. Reviewed By Grace Masso for Readers’ Favorite

An excellent, paranormal true account of the author John Russell. The author gives the reader of how his psychic experience started at the young age of six, explaining his first encounter. He gives the reader a colorful and detailed background of growing up and understanding his abilities.

I really enjoyed the section on his mother and her experience as a Sunday school teacher and his family's experience at their church. I won't give spoilers but it was very interesting and somewhat a game changer for their church. The reader is also told how he evolved into the person he is today, his beliefs and how he learned to handle his gifts.

There are many accounts of his supernatural meetings with ghost, unexplainable floating orbs, to his own possible encounter with a UFO at Roswell. The reader is given a first hand narrative on how at times he was saved by his guardian angels. Another section I really enjoyed was the discussion of doppelganger as well as his experience at Ford's theater.

There are a lot of really good paranormal events discussed in this book by the author and most are discussed in depth. I am definitely a fan of his positive attitude of communicating it to the reader giving an overall sense of openness and nothing to be afraid of concerning the paranormal. At the same time I am sure there is plenty of things that we should fear. An overall great read and I recommend it!!!!

Such a good book

I listen to every podcast I can find of John's, that's how I came to buy his book.
This book is wonderful, you can tell how caring and loving his heart is simply by his words. I believe.
