What Dwells Within: A Study of Spirit Attachment packs a lot of information into a small amount of space. Included is an introduction on spirit attachment, stories about haunted dolls and items, a breakdown of investigative methods and ghost hunting tools, FAQs, photos, and testimonies. There is something for everyone inside, whether you are a paranormal fan with years of experience behind you, or you’re just interested in reading true short stories about haunted dolls and items. Further, What Dwells Within also serves as a reference guide and is a fantastic source for writers in the paranormal genre or for anyone who frequently steps into the supernatural world. Jayne Harris and D.J. Weatherer have researched their subject and produced a well-written book on spirit attachment — a branch of the paranormal field that deals not with possession of a person, but of an object.
The highlight of What Dwells Within is undoubtedly the many stories throughout the book, accompanied by photographs. It would be easy to produce a book just on haunted dolls alone, and that would certainly serve to pique a reader’s interest, but the book also includes fascinating stories about haunted rings, haunted mirrors, and — my favorite — a haunted wooden box. Many of the stories could fill their own books, but the format works just fine; the reader gets background information, photos, and paranormal evidence. Overall, this is a professional take on spirit attachment, highly entertaining and spectacularly creepy. I would recommend the book as a reference guide or a fireside read, and I look forward to reading it all over again.
