this is edition 2. 9 resident ghosts and 184 resident deaths.
there is also a first edition with 9 resident spirits(the same 9 spirits in both books? guess I'll have to find 1st edition to find out....) and 159 deaths. no copies of first book on Amazon. there are some on Abe Books for $62. not that curious, I must say.
all info found online and available to the public. I would love to do something like this for Amanda Shirley. just for myself. I really think family should be consulted. I wouldn't want to find a book about, say, my deceased family members.
not saying I won't push someone out of the way to buy a book....
