GHOSTWRITER: The Polaroid Ghost & True Tales of the Paranormal is a collection of true ghost stories experienced by the author and people he knows, collected over the course of decades and reaching back into his family's history. Not just another ghost story book, the author makes a case for the paranormal to be recognized as worthy of serious scientific investigation. Mostly the book deals with the case of Wright, the Ghostwriter, a spirit who communicated with the occupants of a house on a heavily wooded lot in the hills of northeast Los Angeles via Polaroid film.

Investigated multiple times by parapsychologists like Kerry Gaynor of UCLA (who also investigated "The Entity" case) and by experts from Polaroid Corporation and the Scripps Institute, it has never been debunked and remains one of the most interesting and baffling cases in paranormal history.
