In "Haunted By Likes," author Larry Eissler III delves into the intersection of social media and the paranormal community. As the digital age continues to evolve, a new era of ghost hunters, psychics, and paranormal enthusiasts has emerged, seeking validation, connection, and fame through online platforms.
​Paranormal investigators Dan Norvell and Larry Eissler take you inside a unique perspective of the Black Hawk War, a conflict between the United States and the Native American Sauk war chief, Black Hawk. While conveying the oft-overlooked history of these battles, they also explore the reported hauntings at the war's historic landmarks. Discover a time in Illinois's history rife with despair and tragedy that has produced a significant amount of paranormal activity.
​Take a unique journey with these departed souls and follow them through the navigation of the afterlife in this anthology of ghost stories. Meet spirits that witnessed battles in America's heartland, ghosts witnessing their own funerals, struggles with darkness on both sides of the veil, and more in these 16 haunting tales. Embark on those "what if" scenarios that will only be answered when we finally make that fateful trip through death's door for ourselves.
New release coming late 2024, early 2025... stay tuned!
