Echoes in the Shadows is a deeply personal, wide-ranging nonfiction journey through two decades of paranormal investigation by William Jones, founder of G.R.A.S.P.P. Beyond (Gathering Research And Stories of Paranormal Phenomena).
Beginning with a chilling encounter with a shadow person at age 21, Jones opens the door to a lifetime of seeking answers to the unexplained. From those early, uncertain steps to becoming a respected investigator, trainer, and lecturer, the book explores not only paranormal events but the psychology, science, and humanity surrounding them.
Across nearly 20 years and dozens of investigations, Jones shares compelling, often eerie experiences involving:
Hauntings & Ghost Investigations- Elks Lodge #1200 - a nine-year case study involving phantom footsteps, disembodied voices, intelligent responses, and one hostile entity known as the murmuring man.
- Nunica Cemetery - the group's very first ghost hunt and the moment they realized how much they had to learn.
- Second Impression Consignment Store - one of the most active locations in the book, including Class A EVPs, shadow figures, objects moving, and possible residual imprints of a 1922 murder.
- Must Love Dogs Boutique - buried letters from WWII, mysterious shadows, and a snarky EVP captured in the basement.
The SS City of Milwaukee, a historic railroad car ferry, and its companion USCGC Acacia become central locations for investigations involving:
- Poltergeist-like activity
- Unexplained voices through century-old ship phones
- Shadow figures in the engine room
- A mischievous ghost kitty
- Aggressive entities during Estes Method sessions
- Linked energy surges during major solar flares
Jones highlights:
- EMF and EVP techniques
- How emotional energy fuels hauntings
- The scientific vs. spiritual debate on consciousness after death
- The role of sensitives, mediums, and skeptics on the team
- Ethical approaches to helping frightened families
The book expands beyond spirits:
- Collaborations with Upper Peninsula Bigfoot researchers
- Tree knocks, tracking, and possible visual encounters
- Strange fairy lights in the wilderness
- Physical impacts on campers and objects
- Indigenous folklore connections
- The thin veil between life and what lies beyond
- The blending of science, faith, and intuition
- Respecting the living and the dead
- The importance of community and teamwork
- How investigations often lead to more questions than answers
Echoes in the Shadows is not a sensationalist ghost-story book. It's a thoughtful, honest, and often emotional account of real investigations, real people, and real experiences that have shaped a paranormal research group over two decades.
It's for:
- Believers
- Skeptics
- Curious minds
- Anyone fascinated by hauntings, cryptids, or the unknown
And it leaves readers with the same question investigators always face:
What do you believe?
