GHOST WHISPERS : Spine-Chilling Stories of Paranormal Investigations

by Neil D’Silva

What really happens when the living cross paths with the dead? Seasoned paranormal investigator Sarbajeet Mohanty has spent years trying to unravel the mysteries of the spirit world. In Ghost Whispers , Sarbajeet, along with bestselling author Neil D’Silva, opens the case files on India’s most chilling paranormal phenomena. From a centuries-old abandoned fort in Mumbai that still echoes with the voices of long-dead prisoners to tortured spirits lurking beneath a haunted bridge in Pune, Sarbajeet has walked fearlessly into places most of us would never dare to enter. As cofounder of PAIRS (Parapsychology and Investigations Research Society), he has led over a hundred investigations across India—capturing ghostly voices, confronting intelligent hauntings, and even helping lost souls find peace in the afterlife. Here you’ll encounter spirits that speak through static, lovers trapped in a loop of their tragic end in a former mortal life, soldiers who refuse to leave their posts, and entities so powerful they can drain batteries, cause lights to flicker, and chill the very air around you. What sets this book apart is Sarbajeet’s pursuit of truth through scientific methods. Using spirit boxes, infrared thermometers, and other equipment, he documents paranormal encounters that defy logic. Each investigation blends eerie evidence with technology, rational inquiry and, crucially, empathy for the departed. Spine-chilling and eye-opening, Ghost Whispers will make you question everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. And it dares to ask the can the living truly understand the whispers of the spirit world?

Ghost Whispers isn’t just a collection of ghost stories—it’s a chilling yet compassionate exploration of the spirit world through the eyes of one of India’s most well-known paranormal investigators, Sarbajeet Mohanty, in collaboration with Neil D’Silva.

What makes this book stand out is its grounding in real investigations. From abandoned forts to haunted bridges, the narratives carry an unsettling realism that lingers long after you’ve turned the page. The encounters are eerie, but never gratuitous—there’s a strong sense of responsibility and empathy toward the spirits, making the book more reflective than sensational.

The scientific approach—using tools like EMF meters, infrared thermometers, and spirit boxes—adds credibility and curiosity, especially for readers who are skeptical yet intrigued by the paranormal. Each case balances fear with inquiry, reminding us that behind every haunting may lie unresolved pain, loss, or longing.

What truly stays with you is the emotional undercurrent: lovers trapped in loops of tragedy, soldiers refusing to abandon duty, and souls seeking closure. The writing makes you question the boundary between the living and the dead, and whether listening—with empathy—might be the bravest act of all.

Spine-chilling yet humane, Ghost Whispers is perfect for readers who enjoy paranormal nonfiction with depth, sincerity, and a distinctly Indian context.

[Enakshi J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ghost Whispers doesn’t rush at you with cheap scares or dramatic declarations. It walks in quietly, pulls up a chair, and begins to speak—calmly, methodically, and with an unsettling confidence that makes you listen. What makes the book compelling is precisely this refusal to sensationalise the paranormal. Instead of shrieks and shadows, you get case files, observations, and a steady dismantling of superstition through investigation.

The writing style is largely restrained and reportage-driven, which works in the book’s favour. The prose doesn’t try to impress; it tries to inform. When the eerie moments land—and they do—it’s because of understatement rather than excess. Imagery is used selectively, often relying on repetition, silence, and the clinical recounting of events to build atmosphere. At times, the language borders on the utilitarian, but that very plainness lends credibility to the experiences being described.

did not meet my expectations . having said that I can't say its a bad one .personally I have read many of IPS works so this was not for me. it can be a wonderful book for someone new to paranormal literature

[Mugdha Mahajan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I went into this expecting cheap thrills, but D’Silva and Mohanty delivered a clinical, skin-crawling look at what actually happens in the dark. It’s less “horror movie” and more “documentary,” which somehow makes it ten times scarier.

The book is a treasure trove for seekers, blending investigation with deep dives into demonology, parapsychology, and the mechanics of spirit communication. Learning about the tools used to bridge the gap between worlds was fascinating.

Neil’s atmospheric storytelling makes even the unknown locations feel vivid and claustrophobic. If you’ve ever felt a “presence” and dismissed it, this will make you second-guess everything.
