I then had sharp stabbing pain in my chest and shoulder. I felt like someone was cutting into these areas. I felt this panic and terror take hold of me, and I went into full panic mode. I thought I was going to die, and it came out of nowhere. I began saying someone help me out loud, and I then began to message my wife, then tried to call, but my service there was horrible.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview 10/28/18 - Fingerprints and Phantoms.

Veteran crime scene investigator, Paul Rimmasch (Bio), offers 26 stories of paranormal unexplained. True stories from those who may or may not believe in ghosts - even after witnessing such an event.

Paul says personal experience made him curious about what others might have encountered. As a fan of campfire tales, he started collecting stories. With respect to those involved who may wish to remain anonymous, names and details have been altered but the events are as reported. He had not intended to write a book on ghosts but ...

Fortunately other law enforcement colleagues were willing to share their encounters and the ghost theme became apparent. In addition to that however, at least one story truly boggles. It involves phantom dogs.

He says he has more than enough stories for another book or two. Given that Ghost stories are best shared, hopefully, he'll follow-up with a second installment.
