“Apparitions; or, The Mystery of Ghosts, Hobgoblins, and Haunted Houses” is a collection of amusing real-life stories relating to supposed ghost encounters and supernatural experiences. It was written with the aim of dispelling fears and superstition surrounding the subject, which the author attempts to do by examining real accounts and showing them to be "trifles light as air." Contents include: “An Essay on Ghosts and Apparitions”, “The Dominican Friar”, “The Superstitious Couple”, “The Haunted Bed-room”, “The Westminster Scholars”, “The Ideot's Funeral”, “The Ventriloquist”, “The Female Fanatic, and Heavenly Visitor”, The Dead Man and Anatomical Professor”, “The Drunken Bucks and Chimney-Sweep”, etc. Interesting and entertaining, this volume would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition designed for a modern audience. This book was first published in 1815.

A seminal, investigative look at ghost sightings from the British politician, author, and Council of the Society for Psychical Research member. A wide collection of the most well attested cases of apparitions and haunted houses collected by the Society for Psychical Research. There are a number of well-authenticated narratives—some from private sources, and some that reached Sir Ernest after his BBC Broadcast, given under the title of this book in 1934. Apparitions and Haunted Houses is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft. “Folk motifs and ghostly superstitions are scattered liberally throughout the informants’ tales, making this work a valuable comparative tool for field collectors of ghostlore.” —Folklore Forum

Excerpt from Apparitions, or the Mystery of Ghosts, Hobgoblins, and Haunted Houses, Developed: Being a Collection of Entertaining Stories, Founded on Fact The subsequent little Work owes its rise and progress to very trifling circumstances. In the early part of my life, having read many books in favour of Ghosts and Spectral Appearances, the recollection remained so strong in my mind, that, for years after, the dread of phantoms bore irresistible sway. This dread continued till about my twenty third year, when the following simple affair fully convinced me, how necessary it was thoroughly to investigate every thing that tended to supernatural agency, lest idle fear should gain a total ascendancy over iny mind.

Skeletal remains rotting behind cellar walls, temple priests removing brains with iron hooks, phantom locomotives roaring across midnight plains—Brian Righi isn't making this stuff up. The ghost stories he finds in history are far more chilling than any Hollywood horror scene. Join the seasoned paranormal investigator on a tour through mankind's millennium-old obsession with death and the afterlife. Ghosts, Apparitions and Poltergeists surveys 4,000 years of hauntings and ghost huntings—from the embalming rituals of ancient Egypt to the Ouija boards and séances of nineteenth century Spiritualism—highlighting a few outlandish tales and colorful characters along the way. Once you've learned the history, launch a paranormal investigation of your own with Righi's guide to modern ghost hunting, full of detailed advice culled from his seven years of experience in the field.

In the early part of my life, having read many books in favour of Ghosts and Spectral A ppear� ances, the recollection remained so strong in Illy mind, that, for years after, the dread of phantoms bore irresistible sway. This dread continued tilI about my twenty-third year, when the following simple affair fully convinced me, how necessary it was to investigate everything that tended to be supernatural.About this period, I had apartments in a largeold-fashioned country mansion. From my bed� chamber was a secret door leading to a private staircase, which communicated with some of the, lower rooms. This door was fastened both within and without; consequently all fear of intrusion from that quarter was entirely removed. However, at times, I could not help ruminating the malpractices that might have been committed by evil-disposed persons, through this communica� tion; and " busy meddling fancy" was fertile in conjuring up imaginary horrors. Every thing, however, was quiet, and agreeable to my wishes, for some months after my arrival. One moon� light night, in the month of June, I retired to my bed, fun of thought, but slept soundly till about one o'clock; 'when I awoke, and discovered, by the help of the moon which 'shone full in my room, a tall figure in white, with arms extended, at the foot of my bed. Fear and astonishment over� powered me for a few seconds; I gazed on it with terror, and was afraid to move. At length I had courage to take a second peep at this disturber of my rest, and still continued much alarmed, and irresolute how to act. I hesitated whether to speak to the figure, or arouse the family. The first idea I considered as a dangerous act of hero� ism; the latter, as a risk of being laughed at, should the subject of my story not prove superna�tural. Therefore, after taking a third view of thephantom, I mustered up all my resolution, jumped out of bed, and boldly went up to the figure, grasped it round and round, and found it incorpo� real. I then looked at it again, and felt it again........
