Wilder's Spirits Out of Time: True Family Ghost Stories
and Weird Paranormal Experiences takes us through her family's
history of paranormal experiences, which almost seem to be genetic
for them. She outlines her family tree, in hopes of helping the
reader keep track of all of the "characters" contained
within her book. (And it is somewhat helpful.) The end
also includes an appendix with pictures of these people, to which she
refers throughout the book.
Each chapter focuses on a
different location that is significant to the Wilder family.
She talks about yellow eyes that followed her around in childhood and
the death knock that her Irish family heard before someone passed
away. Some family members had astral experiences, which are
basically out-of-body experiences. Others were haunted by
childish ghosts, who in reality were shadows of their former selves.
There are the highly sensitive young ones and the cats, who always
seem to see things that humans can't.
Particularly touching is
a chapter dedicated to the spirit of her friend Dylan. After
passing away, he reappeared to her as a white deer. He also
appeared to her in dreams, when she needed him most. There is
some comfort in believing in the possibility that our loved ones are
still here even after they are gone.
Wilder also often refers
to her previous work, a book called House of Spirits and
Whispers, which is a true story of living in her haunted house.
If
you're looking for a truly terrifying tale, this book isn't going to
scare you as much as others might, though it helps to read it late at
night. It reads more like a family history then a scary book.
Nevertheless, it is interesting to hear how one family has shared in
supernatural experiences throughout time. And it kind of makes
you want to call up your relatives to find out their stories, as
well.
