Carolyn saw the little girl, dressed up in her green velvet finery, what she would later describe as the child’s burial outfit. A tiny cherub chanting with cohorts was seemingly oblivious to the terrified woman being targeted: Will drive ye out with fiery broom . . . will drive ye mad with death and gloom: their unholy chapter and verse… perhaps not so benign, after all. Footsteps in stairwells or whispers from walls, mournful cries of a child, the incantation of a crowd of souls resembling a coven of witches or the soft, soulful whine of a distant bugle—these were but a few of the distinctly disquieting sounds which they heard incessantly. Sensory perception is a gift, though as much a curse as a blessing… as a balancing act of God.
I really really enjoyed reading about the history of the land and even the house....it made me wish that "this' book ( vol 2) would have been Book 1, and the first book be the continence...this book just made me understand the house and land more. Lorraine Warren, of course, had her own issues... but this isn't a review of Lorraine Warren or her unbalanced mental state. As for the ghost story part and hauntings this family had.. this book was really good... job well done. Opposing forces were about to engage in a ferocious battle as adversaries waging war within the dark confines of the borning room, against the evil in an old house. Disobedient heathens would be severely tested, admonished for the deliberate splicing of dimensions. Foolishly doing so would mean taking a terrible risk as antagonists exploring treacherous boundaries of an inherently inconceivable realm. Overtly provocative behavior functioned as the clarion call, the command to be obeyed, essentially calling on all enemy combatants: for every action… a reaction. The children had no concept of the consequences, no idea of the power they were about to unleash as warnings went unheeded. It was destined to become a test of wills. Inviting disasters into their home, stupid girls got what they deserved. The ultimate wake-up call to arms, Cindy would be forced to fight for her own life in the darkness. Indistinguishable is the fine line between brave and stupid, and they brazenly crossed it. Hubris found in one so young, Cynthia was certain she’d identify then banish what had haunted them, day and night, for years. So confident and prideful in her assertion, the child arranged a get-together from the ages, for the ages. Her anger manifested as arrogance, pride as over-confidence. A mere waif decided to take on a demon in their midst. Everyone else thought that was somehow a good idea! Be watchful, girls. Be sober and be vigilant. Lessons learned the hard way. Mother always said: all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Best they brought the white flag along for their wild ride across the cosmos. This was not philosophy. It was physics.Bound they were, mortal to immortal alike. Yeats proved to be correct. He described spirits as beings Insipid as the dough before it is baked and knew they change their bodies at a word. The poet knew Images can break the solitude of lovely, satisfied, indifferent eyes. He knew enough to tell us the truth of existence. It was not the end. It was only the beginning. Though towards end of book,,, I'd say 85 percent, it became very repetitious, the author just basically "retelling" all the experience each one had in the house and perhaps lesson's learned from it.
First off let us start with a disclaimer:Yes I am reading volume one and two. Yes this book was OBVIOUSLY self published and in desperate need of an editor. Yes this is the book that the movie The Conjuring is based on and Yes I do believe is ghosts. So going into this review I am giving Andrea and her family the benefit of the doubt that all their experiences are true and honest.Why, maybe because there wasn't those irritating "bolded' words that were scattered through out the entire first book. There are about three chapters right before the end of the book that have action in them, in as much as a resolution to the...I hesitate to use the word plot, climax or conflict. By this point I was so bored reading this I just wanted it to be over. However then there are about three additional chapters of just garbage before then book ends Dolly Parton's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Outfit For NFL Halftime Show Caused Everyone To Lose Their Minds: “Dolly Parton Just Won Thanksgiving”
Natural conversion: a transforming of this into that in the space and time required, according to all established laws of Nature. How long does it take a leaf to decompose in autumn? What variables exist which could conceivably impact or alter this process? How to factor the elements into these equations? To every thing there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven. Beings in perpetual motion, ever-changing, (consciously or not), in death we change yet again, morphing into something else: perhaps as pure energy, soul and spirit dispersed into the Cosmos. Metamorphosis is not an event but is instead, an ongoing co-creative process which we remain actively involved in during every moment of our existence. We are; always have been, always will be, in some form or another. We evolve. Like it or not, we all learn. Best we come to terms with Infinity—and our own immortality: the biggest chill. Accept it and move on. Out across the Universe, transformed, evolving into ether, as spirit, traveling just beyond the speed of light.

WHAT I really really really hated about this book was: through the ENTIRE book, the author felt she needed to "bold out" random words ( I'm guessing) here to make a "point" to the readers.

The first few times ( or ) really the second time she used this word was okay... but anytime after that, I felt that the thrill of the word "Boo" just wasnt there anymore. Here is a quote which makes me think the author was quite literally trying to make the sisters in this book read like characters from a Louisa May Alcott novel.When the floodgates of hell burst open and the deluge began, the sense of relief was palpable amongst the group of girls who really had something to talk about! When the eldest divulged her concerns to the mother in a crisis of her own, it actually eased much of the low-level angst present in the house, effectively clearing the air of an oppressive and omnipresent fear. The secret was out. A comparative analysis of episodes proved beneficial for all those questioning their senses and, to some extent, sanity. As a rule, honesty is the best policy. Yet, when the father and husband, the one relied upon to protect and defend his family against all enemies, foreign and domestic, does not believe a threat exists, it makes for a rather convoluted report up the chain of command. Sometimes it requires bypassing the general entirely. Good God. Seeking assistance, they were forced to go right to the top. Taylor Ann Green Confesses That She "Initiated" Kiss With Austen Kroll On 'Southern Charm': "I Caught Him Off Guard" Keeping secrets from each other, lies as sins of omission, was contrary to any previous behavior displayed by these siblings. Things had changed. Prior to moving to the farmhouse, these children always shared everything with each other, from triumph to tragedy. Nothing was off-limits in a discussion, even if the conversation was kept as temporary secrets between sisters. All of them knew how trustworthy their mother was and they would confide in her with ease; no fear of retribution. Eventually, Carolyn would be made privy to any and all significant events in their lives. Then she’d consider it, deciding if it was something serious enough to warrant their father’s attention or his intervention, often strictly handled on a need-to-know basis. If it was an issue she could resolve without him, Carolyn did so, simply to keep things peaceful and quiet. Never one of those you just wait until your father gets home mothers; she preferred to settle disputes on her own. Roger’s tendency to overreaction was something to avoid, so, if a minor incident happened there was no need to involve him. That is, unless he asked, in which case she was always honest with her husband; a hard fact that would become a major point of contention between this troubled couple. Carolyn took profound exception to his overt disregard for her opinions and blatant skepticism he’d express in reaction to her descriptions of the supernatural activity, experiences occurring all around them. It was insulting and offensive. She’d never given Roger any reason to doubt her voracity. Secrets were kept and then revealed within a space shared by mortal and immortal alike. Time suddenly became irrelevant; fractured by spirits making their presence known then dispersing into the ether. The house is a portal to the past and a passage to the future. This is a sacred story of spiritual enlightenment, told some thirty years hence. The family is now somewhat less reticent to divulge a closely-guarded experience. Their odyssey is chronicled by the eldest sibling and is an unabridged account of a supernatural excursion. The girls and mom have SO many ghostly encounters it leaves one to wonder. "How many damn ghosts were IN this house?" Sometimes they are scared of them, other times they are just friendly little watching spirits.
