We hear the story of Jan Bryant Bartell, her book, Spindrift, and the synchronicities woven into her life - as well as the synchronicities Timothy and Alison experienced around the book. The house in which Jan lived would come to be known as the House of Death and is considered by some to be the most haunted residence in New York. Famous ghost hunter and author Hans Holzer brought a medium to Jan’s apartment and, later, wrote about her haunting in one of his books.
