Ghost stories are part of our society not just the stuff of horror movies. Our history books religious texts and folklore are full of encounters with people from beyond the grave:     President Lincoln has been walking the halls of the White House in Washington D.C. for more than a century.   The catacombs of Paris contain the skeletal remains of six million bodies and many of their ghosts.   For decades Resurrection Mary has been picked up by motorists on Chicago's Archer Avenue only to disappear when they reach Resurrection Cemetery.

Contacting spirit guides is as old as civilization itself. Shamans dating back to at least 50,000 B.C. ritualistically contacted nonphysical entities. The Mystery Schools of Ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia, Rome, and India also dealt with contacting spirit guides.Every major religion acknowledges the reality of discarnate entities or spirits, whether they are called saints, angels, the Holy Spirit, and so on. One of the purposes of this book is to demystify this process.The media's depiction of spirit contact has led to the false assumption that anyone who establishes this contact must be in great danger. In reality, this communication is natural, relatively simple, and a wonderful growth experience.Spirit communication removes the fear of death and bereavement, and results in a form of spiritual empowerment.
