(HealthNewsDigest.com)-For people who have a fondness for reading while in the bathroom, a new book is sure to flush away the blues while providing joy and relief during “visits”-with strange but true tales of plumbing horrors and hilarity.
“Chilling Tales from the Porcelain Seat” is a vignette-style bathroom reader featuring real-life Roto-Rooter plumbers and the SciFi channel’s Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson.
The idea behind the book stems from all the strange, odd, unexplained and simply weird experiences that the Ghost Hunters and other Roto-Rooter plumbers have witnessed over the years involving pipes, drains, sinks and toilets.
“‘Chilling Tales from the Porcelain Seat’ highlights the odd experiences that many plumbers encounter on a daily basis,” says Hawes. “Readers will be shocked to learn about some of the things we’ve experienced on the job. We’ve had folks from all across the country send in their plumbing stories for the book.”
In many instances, the locations alleged to have poltergeists simply turn out to be plumbing issues-clanging pipes and do-it-yourself projects gone wrong.
“There are tales that will curl your hair, and others that are just so funny you can’t help but belly laugh,” adds Hawes. “It’s a great way to spend some quality time on the throne.”
The book is also filled with practical tips, advice and what-not-to-do’s for do-it-yourselfers who may be looking to tackle a plumbing problem, although Hawes wryly admits that his best do-it-yourself plumbing advice is to call an experienced plumber.
Visitors to www.chillytales.com or www.rotorooter.com can also enter Roto-Rooter’s “Chilling Tales” Sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip to Colorado, where the winner will join Hawes and Wilson on a ghost hunt at the famous Stanley Hotel-the location for the filming of the movie “The Shining”-or a chance to stay at the haunted Spalding Inn of New Hampshire. Other prizes will also be available.
