| When Ghosts Speak: Understanding the World of Earthbound Spirits by Grand Central Publishing Fascinating, Well Written Book that Will Make You Think -- and Believe | I simply could not put this book down. Mary Ann Winkowski's way of telling her story is open, frank, humorous and direct. Thought provoking and constant, this is an intriguing, amazing book. Part biography and part extensive personal paranormal experience. Easily one of the best books on the topic of ghosts and the afterlife. Mrs. Winkowski's account of her life and dealing with earth-bound spirits resonates with directness and plausibility.
When Ghosts Speak is one of the best books I've read on this topic--and I've read most of them! | | When Ghosts Speak: Understanding the World of Earthbound Spirits by Grand Central Publishing A little bit Iffy | | This book is a very good read and quite fluid. The author gives some good insight into the spirit world that helped expand my understanding a little bit. I am a believer in another consciousness after death, however, I found it very difficult to believe most of the tales Mary Ann recounted, based on the inconsistencies of her accounts as well as other factors. For example, when she states that she sees ghosts everywhere she goes, I wonder, perhaps, how does she know that the people she sees are ghosts if ghosts and the living supposedly appear the same (she does explain in one part of the book that if she squints and stares very hard at a ghost it becomes slightly transparent, nevertheless she cannot squint and stare at all the people she encounters in her everyday life to come to the conclusion that she sees them "everywhere"). Additionally, the fact that the Light happens to be concerned with a persons memorial/funeral service enough to hold until 72 hours after the proceedings end I find a bit strange. Many people are not fortunate enough to have a funeral so what becomes of these departed souls? I also am a little bit skeptical at the fact that the dead will be concerned with some of the most trivial things, and behave with such human emotions despite the new awareness they have entered. Also, the author claims she is Catholic, this religion comes in direct contradiction with some of her ideas in mystical remedies and cures. | | When Ghosts Speak: Understanding the World of Earthbound Spirits by Grand Central Publishing loved this book | | I bought this book to help with an issue I am having in my rental home. My husband died there and I have moved out and am now having problems keeping renters in the home. This book truly made sense to me and helped to explain some of the problems going on in the home.I believe she knows what she is talking about,this book was well written and easy to read, very informative and helpful for me. | | When Ghosts Speak: Understanding the World of Earthbound Spirits by Grand Central Publishing Interesting, but some odd theories | This is a very readable book but contains some statements that I find hard to believe. For example, the idea that after a person dies, the white light only lasts for a set amount of time, and after that, it disappears and a spirit is earthbound if they didn't enter it within that time frame. Huh ? I have NEVER read or heard that from any other psychic or medium. So, do your spirit guides and guardian angels just leave you earthbound after the 72 hours or so pass by ? I don't think so. According to the author, she creates the white light for ghosts she encounters. That's a mighty amount of power for a medium to have!
She makes it sounds like as many people remain ghosts as cross over - according to her, there are ghosts just about everywhere! I don't think they are all that common.
She also believes in Hell and curses, both of which most psychics will tell you do not exist (of course it is possible to curse someone, but it can only "work" if the person cursed believes it does). It's a common scam for fake psychics/mediums to claim a person is cursed and offer to lift the curse for a high price. I am not saying the author is a fake, but I don't think she is as insightful as most people with her gifts. She has some good general advice about protecting yourself from negative energy, but as another reviewer mentioned, I find it suspicious that she sells her quince seed charm for such a high price on her web site. (That is another thing I have never heard of - using quince seeds to ward off ghosts. Especially since they apparently only work if they are from her family in Italy. Hmmmm...).
On the plus side, she is a good writer - the book has an easy conversational style and some interesting stories - but I don't think it is a balanced account of the spirit world. | | When Ghosts Speak: Understanding the World of Earthbound Spirits by Grand Central Publishing When Ghosts Speak | I couldn't put this book done. Very interesting, learned much about paranormal activity and spirits. Loved it! Have bought every book she wrote and waiting for more.

Tell these things to Mary Ann Winkowski, and she'll tell you that you have a ghost.
A happily married, devout Catholic, suburban mother and full-time paranormal investigator, Mary Ann Winkowski has been able to see earthbound spirits, spirits that are trapped on earth and haven't "crossed over," since she was a little girl. Mary Ann works with these spirits to help them make peace with what keeps them here - whether it be people they can't let go of or homes they love.
In WHEN GHOSTS SPEAK, Mary Ann will tell the amazing story of growing up with this gift, and will share tips on how to recognize when you're not alone, and what to do if you are in the presence of a ghost.
