ABOUT ANNIE
Raised Catholic in a family that had strong intuitive abilities, the unseen world of angels, spirits, and lost souls has always been a familiar part of Annie Wilder’s everyday life. Wilder grew up in the rural areas of southern Minnesota and South Dakota, moving from one old, rustic farmhouse to the next, one of which had no telephone, a woodstove for heat, and a cistern as the primary water supply. Wilder earned a B.A in Communications and Film from the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, MN and holds a level II certification in Reiki. She serves on her local Heritage Preservation Commission, whose mission is to protect the historical, architectural, and cultural heritage in the small Mississippi River town where she lives and where her story takes place. House of Spirits and Whispers, her first book, is a true account of the ghosts who have visited her beautiful and haunted old house. In 1994, Annie Wilder and her children moved into a 100-year-old house in a historic Mississippi River town. Beautiful but spooky, the house had been on the market for six months with no offers. It felt like—and proved to be—a very haunted house. Essentially the story of a remarkable old Victorian house that seems to be a threshold to the spirit world and the astral realm, House of Spirits & Whispers has a backstory of the Wilder family’s relationship with the ghost of the home’s previous owner, an old man named Leon. Covering a decade’s worth of ghostly activity and supernatural events, from whispering radiators to visits and appearances from all manner of spirits and entities, this unusual story is the true account of Annie Wilder’s experiences living in a haunted house.
