The Haunted House Diaries is, bar none, one of the most terrifying stories I have come across. A simple word of caution before venturing forth and settling in to read this book: double check that the doors and windows are locked firmly, you have your phone close at hand, AND have a flashlight nearbyjust in case your lights suddenly snap off for NO reason. Expect no mercy from the contents of this book!

William J. Hall has focused his unique investigative skills on a 50-year experience documented by an actual witness. This powerful first-person story is a riveting read supported by an array of photographs for the reader to review and judge on their own. The stories captured in this exciting book display an array of paranormal activity that intrigue the reader to continuethis is not your typical ghost story or investigation. This is a wide range of paranormal stories that span five generations and continue today! I could not put this down and had to read on to see what was next!

by Donna Fillie

The farmhouse in this book is real. It is a private residence and is not open to the public.

Under no circumstances are the residents to be contacted directly by anyone for any reason related to the house or their story. All direct contact will be refused and ignored.

Any inquiries by anyone for any purpose should be directed to William J. Hall, who owns exclusive rights to the story and acts as a liaison for the family.

What you are about to read is a true story. It is based on an investigation that began in 2005 and continues to this day. It features an expanded and detailed diary of events from notes written over a period of five decades while growing up in the home.

All of the photos and video evidence contained in this book and on the bonus Website have been examined by a photo and video professional. However, the theories or conclusions presented from evidence remains the sole opinion of the author unless stated otherwise.

As a result, all reflections, smudges on camera lenses, and other optical effects that are not evidence of the paranormal have been eliminated from consideration in this work. Note that no photo evidence is foolproof. The best that we can present is evidence that appears to have merit and is considered in our minds to be unexplainable and more likely evidence of paranormal phenomena. This is even more valuable when it is a component of the overall activity going on.
