Ryan, can we eliminate A Boy Worth Knowing by Jennifer Cosgrove and ParaNorman by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel?
Can you tell us more about the boy - his age, interests/hobbies/favorite school subjects, family/friends, personality, etc.? When did he start communicating with ghosts?
What is the story's time period and location - country, region, big city/small town?

The guy's age seems to be 16, since I think he's a junior in high school. For most of what I managed to read, he seems to be pretty annoyed and depressed since his ghost powers has been more of a nuisance, but he appears shy or just bored to strangers. His communication with ghosts are since he was like a very young child, supposedly. I think the location takes place in either the UK or USA. The mansion is definitely in an isolated place, likely a small town in possibly northeastern states of US. Time period is "present" time : mid-to-late 2000s to early 2010s at most.
I hope this helps clarifies it a bit more.

You can "bump" your thread every month or so. This pushes your thread back to the top of the folder instead of languishing here on page 81 where far fewer eyes will see it.
You can do this by typing a new comment at the end of the thread, or even by typing the word "bump."
Good luck!

If the ghost wanting help for his adult daughter is an important plot point, what was the problem?
What was his first experience talking to a ghost? Can he see the ghosts?

No, this was not his first time communicating with a ghost, I believe he can see them too. I think the time setting is also late 2000s at least.

From what I remember on the back cover, this is either the first or second book in a small series. The book cover has the main guy in a black background, with blue eyes and brown hair. A girl is behind, and I think is almost faded into the shadows.
Any suggestion is much obliged.
