She has developed her own spiritual abilities over the years to assist her in warding off negative and evil ghosts to protect herself and her family.

You'll want to sleep with the lights on because it could also happen to you, too...
I received a copy of this book directly from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Think what you will, I’ve been a long time believer in the supernatural—though I still consider myself a skeptic. Because of this, I am a huge fan of ghosts stories, but I also like to view ghost stories with a healthy amount of skepticism. I want proof. Evidence. Unfortunately, the way Tormented by Ghosts by Lynda Bogert was written it was very difficult to believe that these were true stories—and maybe they were—who am I to judge? My hesitance is not so much a product of the stories themselves, but the way they were presented.
Honestly, the book was not well written. The narrative rambled from topic to topic with no clear format or breaks to delineate what was happening. The writing wasn’t fluid or clear and concise, but instead hard to follow. The dialogue was about as believable as a Carebear’s scripted speech and throughout the narrative, the author threw in big bad thesaurus words like stymied and invidious that really didn’t fit the context or style of the writing.
I tried to get through this book and stick to following the story, but I just couldn’t. I didn’t like it, and I don’t know that I could recommend it. It needs another strong round with an experienced editor. Lines like “I’ve never vibrated this much in my life.” Should never have made it into the final copy.
I decided to give 3 stars simply because the author did have an interesting story to tell. Yet, the entire narrative is so rambling, unedited and grammatically incorrect that it makes the reading quite difficult, if the reader has any sense of proper storybuilding. That said, there are some interesting stories in this book.
Enjoyed this book and Lynda's journey through her psychic advancement, her NDE was particularly interesting, and how she learnt from it. Well worth reading if you are interested in Spiritualism and are perhaps just treading your way gently through it being a new experience.
This was an okay paranormal true story. It wasn't spooky and it didn't give me any chills like some books of that genre. It is about the true experiences of the author and different situations she had to go through in her life with paranormal encounters. It did not make me make me gasp or try to turn the pages quickly to see what would happen next as it is mostly story telling of her experiences. I have read horror novels with more gasping anticipation than this book. I am only giving it 2 stars.
