This is first and foremost a book of true stories of the paranormal for those who experienced and shared them. These pages consist of 12 hours of ghost stories cobbled together from interviews with appearances by ghosts, shadow people, UFOs, The Flannel Man, Lechuza, and other unexplained phenomena. The world of the paranormal is often filled with wild speculation and unproven tools, with no consensus of what's being measured or why. This book is intended to find the tip of the science iceberg, to create a starting point for others to experiment with the basics of research using observation and analysis, the long-accepted tools of scientific research. Haunted Family History - A Mixed Methods Approach to Paranormal Research uses qualitative analysis, a common method from psychology, to interview participants and identify commonalities and correlations in experiences. The author then uses NVivo(R) software to code and quantify the interviews into data that can then be compared, contrasted, and analyzed. The oddly numerous sightings and experiences that occur in both the author's paternal and maternal families then allow him to compare and contrast experiences within and between families. While there are events where the best explanation is likely a natural one, odd patterns begin to emerge, and repetitive events occur years apart to different family members that beg for a reasonable explanation. You the reader are challenged to read the following and conduct your own analysis. Something is happening.

About the Author
Silva, Jed: - "The author has always loved pop culture and the paranormal, growing up on the likes of Calvin and Hobbes, the Loch Ness Monster, ghost stories, and fantasy and science fiction novels. He graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and studied Professional Counseling in graduate school, all of which required a familiarity of statistics and critical thinking skills. Haunted Family History - A Mixed Methods Approach to Paranormal Research is his attempt to use his accumulated knowledge and interests to make sense of the ghost stories shared with him by his family, and explain them through the lens of an academic with traditional qualitative and quantitative research methods. He's a sucker for ghost hunting television shows, YouTube channels, podcasts, and has a deep yearning to lay down on the floor and pet all dogs and cats he meets."
