In my opinion, it seems like the author was intent on writing a book that was totally different from anything else ever written...but so much so that the content suffered. Useless footnote after footnote; 1 1/2 pages of a footnote that lists names only, random things here & there. I get it that it's supposed to be a pile of papers & research thrown together in a book along with paranormal stuff but it's a little too ridiculous.

If it was just a book that contained the story line of the family in the house, it probably would've been captivating & more interesting. Instead, the whole book was trying too hard to be different.
