Life with the Afterlife: 13 Truths I Learned about Ghosts

It was like a big advertisement for her show.  If you had a shot for everytime she said kindred spirits, you'd be in the hospital or dead.  while not outright talking shit on opposing show ghost adventures, she did make some negative comments about the use of hand held tape recorders.  I did watch one episode of her show and found it boring.  Didn't know who she was previous to this book.  Was hoping for a lot more ghost stories. Anyways not for me as I don't like reading self promotion 🙃 

If you've watched Kindred Spirits, some of the stories Amy recounts as examples in each chapter may be quite familiar! This is an interesting memoir of a paranormal investigator who was at the forefront of the resurgent wave in the early 00's when TV shows hunting ghosts saw a huge boom. She talks about her paranormal experiences as a child growing up in a haunted house and her amateur/hobby investigations before joining up with the team that'd later land her in front of the camera. Amy speaks about the change in her investigation style to try and focus more on helping spirits and the humans they share spaces with - resulting in the Kindred Spirits show. There are plenty of spooky encounters she speaks about and quotes some of her colleagues and other paranormal experts throughout. While probably not appealing to hard sceptics; this memoir will likely still be interesting to some softer sceptics, those who are on-the-fence and believers in the paranormal.
