eBook Review: The Ghost of Flight 401 by John G. Fuller

The Ghost of Flight 401

by John G. Fuller (eBook)

 

Many years ago I read this book about events regarding the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 401 in Florida in 1972, having a moderate interest in paranormal happenings. Fuller did a lot of research and presented things in a matter-of-fact way, which made the circumstances even more compelling. This non-fiction book is considered by some to be the first truly convincing book about the existence of posthumous spirits. Whether or not there is validity to the Flight 401 ghost stories — and former astronaut Frank Borman, who was the CEO of Eastern at the time, said there was none — it is engrossing reading. Among Fuller’s other books are The Interrupted Journey, which chronicles the claimed 1961 alien abduction of Barney and Betty Hill, and several works about scientific issues such as chemical pollution. Fuller was also a playwright and a television writer and director. Ghost… and Interrupted… were both made into TV movies in the late 1970s. Fuller’s wife Elizabeth, a flight attendant, wrote her own book about helping him with his 401 research and their subsequent marriage.
