Book description
Have you ever wondered why we're still chasing ghosts, even with smartphones and apps? Alice Vernon's Ghosted isn't just a book-it's a perfectly paced audiobook that makes you lean in, whispering secrets about our enduring obsession with the paranormal. Forget dusty séances; Vernon shows how ghost-hunting evolved from Victorian table-rapping to modern tech-fueled hunts, weaving history, science, and culture into a story you'll want to listen to again.
Her voice guides you through haunted UK locations, blending personal adventure with sharp insight. You'll laugh at how theatres once hosted "conjurers" exposing fake mediums, then shift to the eerie reality of reality TV ghost hunters dissecting evidence on screens. Vernon doesn't push belief-she asks why we hunt, whether to process grief, chase clicks, or simply face our fear of the dark. It's brilliant how she ties radio waves to smartphone apps, making centuries of obsession feel urgently relevant.
What makes this audiobook magical is its intimacy. You hear her curiosity, her skepticism softened by genuine wonder as she visits places like the Tower of London or Edinburgh's ghostly streets. You feel the chill of old legends meeting modern skepticism, all delivered in a voice that's warm, intelligent, and utterly compelling. It's not about proving ghosts exist-it's about understanding why we keep looking.
By the end, you're not just hearing a story; you're rethinking your own questions about loss, technology, and the human need to connect with what's unseen. Vernon leaves you with a quiet truth: we haven't stopped chasing ghosts because we've found them. We've kept going because the search itself is a lifeline. Ghosted is that rare audiobook that stays with you long after the final word-like a whispered secret you can't forget. It's not just about ghosts. It's about us. And honestly? You'll never listen to a haunted house story the same way again.
