Dark Force is a chilling and unforgettable book.

I was unable to put Dark Force down until I had finished it. The story is chilling and vividly describes the Bean family's battle with malevolent demonic forces in their home. I greatly admire William J. Bean's courage and strength and how he relied upon the power of prayer to help him through the nightmare he and his family endured for so many years. He is a shining example of how a person's faith in God and Jesus Christ can see them through anything. I could totally relate to the horrific events in this story because I have also been a victim of very frightening and negative paranormal phenomena at times during my life, although not nearly to the extreme degree that the Bean family suffered. My faith in God, daily prayers, and a special blessing upon my house are the only things that helped me to endure these terrifying occurrences. Thankfully, the frightening phenomena soon ceased after the blessing over my house. I have not had a frightening experience for a long time now. I know without a doubt that demons are real spirit entities who are bent on the destruction of mankind. Having a strong faith in God and Jesus Christ is the only way that a person can protect themselves and find peace. The house that the Bean family moved into has a very dark history, and I suspect that this may be the reason it was demonically infested before the family moved in. This story is terrifying, and yet it is also very inspirational because it shows how courage and faith in God and Jesus Christ can triumph over evil. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in reading stories about the paranormal.

Dark Force-The Terrifying and Tragic Story of the Bean Family by William J. Bean, Jr

Dark Force is about the events that happened in a US town called Glen Burnie, Maryland in 1970. When William Bean Sr., his wife Patricia, their eldest daughter Patti, son Wiliam 'Bill' Bean, Jr., and younger son Bobby lived in the strange house that year, they become subjected to ten years of horrifying, and evil, entities that threatened to destroy them forever.... Patti's room was always 'cold'; an angelic woman would 'protect' the family from the other dark forces (including a demonic 'Undertaker', a man who scared the Bean family (and other family friends), later on in the book. The pool was damaged; the family dog was killed; and other horrible things happened. William Bean Sr. slowly drank himself almost to death (until he relocated to Florida); Patti married her boyfriend to escape the dark forces after they attacked her one night in bed; and Bill Jr.'s fascination with fire). And, when Bill's other family members were threatened, his own Mom's health deriorated as well. Bill's Uncle showed Bill the way of God and instilled in Bill the power of Jesus and gave him the energy to battle the evil in his house. And, when the entities defaced a picture of Patti, and gave her an 'evil face', things were getting more out of control. Bill's Mom met a man named Richard and they got on well. Richard also saw the entities but her loved Bill's Mom and they remained close. In 1980 Bill's friends met the entities late at night and one of them met the 'Undertaker' and was frightened by it. When Bill's Grandmother or 'Mom-Mom' and his Mother died in 1981, his world collapsed. Bobby struggled to cope and, in 1987, Bill Sr. was shot to death. Bill Jr., then ends his story by thanking his wife and God for everything. I recommend Dark Force because it's a disturbing, sad, and yet uplifting book about the battle between good and evil. PS. I contacted Mr. Bean and told him about ordering the book and he sent me a copy of the book before it arrived so I can read excerpts. I dedicate this review to my friend and to his wife, his brother and sister, his friends, and to his late parents who tried to protect their children from evil. GOD bless their souls!!!!!

A must read!

A riveting firsthand account of one family's terrifying battle with demonic entities. Turning each page of this book was a chilling experience yet at the same time, I just couldn't put it down. Bill Bean has written a wonderful book that I highly recommend.

A tragic but ultimately uplifting story

This book is absolutely compelling and interesting, and also frightening but ultimately uplifting. It is the story of the Bean family, an average, all-American family consisting of Bill Sr., Bill Jr., his younger brother Bobby, older sister Patti and mother Patricia who move into a home in Glen Burnie, Maryland, in 1970, and all were really put-upon by spirits, which Bill believes caused his father to abuse his mother. Bill Sr. became an alcoholic, and never believed in spirits occupying the home. The spirits were an "Undertaker" type with dark hair, black eyes, dark period clothing and a black hat; a red-haired man with a jagged scar on his face; an evil entity with no discernible features except red eyes and a woman spirit, which was almost angelic in her countenance and attitude. The small family, as well as members of the family such as Mom-Mom and Aunt Joyce, also experienced unusual happenings in the house. The hauntings went on for a decade until-well, I will let you read the book for yourself to see the rest of the details. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a good fan of a good ghost story. The book is a perfect example of what the power of positive thinking can do for a life which was shattered by nightly visits from malevolent spirits.

Review of "Dark Force" by William J. Bean Jr.

Reviewed by Sean Forker, Host/ Producer - "Beyond the Edge" Radio Show "Dark Force" transcends the normal Haunted house story and brings you in the perspective of true events through the firsthand accounts from the author. The Bean family, your typical nuclear family living in 1970 America; fulfill the American Dream by buying a home in the suburban town of Glen Burnie, Maryland. Bill Bean Sr. is proud of this home, and has aspirations to make it his own. Something else had its own plans for the family. His wife Patricia starts to experience strange feelings, and daughter Patti knows something is wrong with this house. Soon, what started as noises in the attic become physical attacks on family members, Patricia, Patti, and young Billy Jr. Even the dogs are not spared. The Bean family soon becomes oppressed by the emotional and physical attacks and they begin to break. Something sinister lurks in what was the perfect home. That something wants them dead. "Dark Force" follows the story of the Bean Family tragedy, through the despair and eventual triumph over evil. However, every victory has a price. The Bean family pays heavily. William Bean crafts an outstanding story, very descriptive and so emotional that he will have you glued from Introduction to ending. Never have I read a book that is so disturbing in such a way that makes you almost afraid to turn the next page. In the End, what it really shows is that by having faith in God, you can make it through the toughest times and ready to face your worst of fears. "Dark Force" is a must for anyone with an interest in the paranormal, a religious reader, or someone who just enjoys a good book. Its vast appeal makes it a must have for any collection. You must READ THIS BOOK.
