“When Ghosts Speak is a true account of Mary Ann Winkowski’s lifelong affinity with earthbound spirits. The stories shared are simply amazing and will have most readers rethinking their theories on ghosts. Well-written, vividly detailed and surprisingly creepy, this is a book that fans of the paranormal won’t want to miss. The next time you think you hear your name spoken in the middle of the night it won’t be so easy to dismiss.”

“Do I believe in ghosts? Well, I do believe in that there are spirits among us... good and evil. I have to admit that I am little unnerved thinking about such things though.”

  “Even if you approach the idea of talking to spirits with doubt or skepticism, you will still probably enjoy Mary Ann Winkowski's "When Ghosts Speak." The author claims to speak to ghosts (earthbound spirits that have not crossed over into the light yet).
  Her neighborly, conversational presentation of a subject that has been shrouded in mystery and controversy for centuries makes for an enjoyable and refreshing look at the subject of the afterlife.
  Winkowski, who acts as a consultant to the popular "Ghost Whisperer" show, claims to have been able to talk to earthbound spirits for more than 50 years.
  Her book tries to answer many, until now unanswered questions about where people go when they die.
  Her discussions of child spirits and suicides are especially heartfelt and intriguing. The "how to" section at the end of the book, describing how to rid a person, place or thing of an evil spirit, will probably initiate lively conversation around the water cooler as well.
  This is a fun, easy read, and whether believable or not it will hold the reader's interest from beginning to end.”

“Those familiar with the CBS television series Ghost Whisperer will recognize Winkowski as the show's paranormal investigator and consultant whose stories have provided much of the framework for the series. Winkowski claims she has been seeing and talking to ghosts for more than 50 years, and she views her life work as helping earthbound spirits cross over into the light. Here, she offers insights in prodigious detail into what it's like to communicate with earthbound spirits. Via a compelling combination of journal, insightful wit, and honest soul search, she clarifies the very notion of ghosts and enables readers to explore this subject without the oversimplification or sensationalism often attributed to ghosts in movies. Libraries seeking a variety of titles on the subject of the paranormal can consider adding this resource. Those seeking to recommend a work blending both an understanding of ghosts and real-life encounters-in the vein of Jeff Belanger's Our Haunted Lives: True Life Ghost Encounters and Leslie Rule's Ghosts Among Us: True Stories of Spirit Encounters -will find this a kindred title.”

  Mary Ann Winkowski is the consultant from the CBS show the Ghost Whisperer. As a young child she would attend funerals with her grandmother to communicate with the recently dead to help them cross over. In part one the reader gets to find out about how it was for young Mary Ann Winkowski when she realized she had this gift.
  In part two of this non-fiction paranormal the reader starts to separate the facts from fiction with the types of spirits. But one of the main things to do to get an Earth-bound spirit to move on is to find out why they are sticking around. Sometimes spirits stick around because of some attachment they have to a person, place, or thing. Other times it’s because of some fear of punishment/judgment, seeking revenge/justice, protecting the living, or of course the busy-bodies who don’t want to leave.
  Children, on the other hand, have a sixth sense when it comes to spirits. They are able to see or sense them a lot easier than adults; hence children are the ones who alert adults of their presence. Unfortunately, there are, in rare occurrences, evil/vengeful sprits but, in this book, the author gives good advice against those spirits.
  In part three the reader learns how to live with spirits. Certain people attract them either by following people home or the living takes over the spirits possessions. But make sure to spot the many signs that Earth-bound spirits leave when they are present and what people can do to protect themselves from them.
  This book has a lot of great information about Earth-bound spirits. I highly recommend picking it up for general knowledge about spirits and what you can do about them.
