Haunted Boston by Gemma King Pdf

Take an eerie journey through the historic town of Boston, where ghostly friars still occupy the land of their thirteenth-century monastery, and where Sarah Preston's disembodied cries of 'Pestilence!' can sometimes be heard as her ghostly apparition jumps from the top of St Botolph's Church. Her alleged former home, Church Key Studio, has seen many occupants come and go over the centuries – but does one of them still reside there in spirit? Also featured is the ancient Guildhall of St Mary's, where a group of distinguished ghostly gentlemen hold board meetings in the upper hall while a lady apparition stares intently into the old prison cells. And explore the spectacular rooms and gardens of Fydell House, where previous occupants have been seen and heard, long after their deaths. This book tells the stories of many well-known locations, with first-hand testimonies of paranormal activity – from pubs, shops and restaurants to a former music venue. Including exclusive photographs and the results of paranormal investigations, some of the locations featured will surprise you... and some of the chilling evidence will make your blood run cold.

Haunted Heritage by Michele Hanks Pdf

Haunted Heritage is a fascinating scholarly examination of the dynamics of ghost or paranormal tourism. Michele Hanks explores how this phenomenon allows for the re-articulation and re-configuring of ideas of heritage, epistemic authority, nation, and belonging. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Hanks delves into the anthropological, sociological, political, historical, and cultural factors that drive this burgeoning business. Using York, England, said to be “the most haunted city in the world,” as the base for her research, Hanks focuses on three forms of ghost tourism: ghost walks, commercial ghost hunts, and non-profit ghost hunts and paranormal investigations, comparing the experience of York with other sites of ghost tourism globally. This book will appeal to scholars interested in tourism, heritage, the paranormal, visual cultural, British studies, or popular religion.

Lily in the Loft by Carol L. MacKay Pdf

"What do CNET pop culture writer Bonnie Burton, Governor General Award-winning poet David Zieroth, journalist/novelist Sparkle Hayter, novelist/screenwriter John Patrick Gillese, and Canadian sport journalist Dick Beddoes have in common besides growing up on the Canadian Prairies? They were all first published in the Young Co-operator's Pages, a section of the Saskatoon-based farm newspaper, The Western Producer. Violet McNaughton, a women's advocate and editor at the Producer, created the club for young writers in 1927. It continued on, inspiring a love of literature and writing in children for nearly 60 years. Lily in the Loft is a picture book for children ages 6-9. It is a fictional story, set in 1947 Saskatchewan, based on the experiences of thousands of children across all the prairie provinces (and even some outside this region) who eagerly awaited "newspaper day" to see their words in print. To this day, former Young Co-ops keep in touch with each other via a Facebook group. This is a book of regional historical interest. However, it is also a universal story about perseverance and determination in reaching one's goals."--
