It’s Dan Aykroyd’s dad. That’s right, Peter is father to one of my favorite actors. Anyhow, it seems the Aykroyd family has been fooling around with ghosts and mediums and the like for several generations. Peter is said to be something of an expert on the subject and very familiar with ghost-tracking history. Hence, this book. Son, Dan, provides the foreword. Dan also wrote GHOSTBUSTERS, which is a fact that escaped me before I read his foreword to this book. 237 pages of ghostly history, spiritualism and supernatural experiences examined and, to the best of Aykroyd’s ability anyway, explained.   #42216
