The Hairbrush and the Shoe: A True Ghost Story - Paperback

by Jeanne D. Stanton (Author)

When a workman is pushed and hissed at by something invisible on the
stairs of her family's 150-year-old townhouse, Jeanne Stanton must
confront the possibility that a ghost inhabits. She proceeds in the way
any former Harvard Business School case writer would: she embarks upon a
rigorous search for proof of the ghost's existence and identity,
exploring the literature and lore of ghosts; the practices of mediums,
psychics, and "ghost busters;" and the various attempts that have been
made over the decades to verify ghostly sounds and sights through
scientific methods. After visits to a psychic provide insights but not
proof, Stanton enters the equally mysterious realms of physics and
neurology, hoping science has answers.
