Phony Ghost Stories by Dennis Ford Pdf

Dare if you will to accompany the Ghost Righter, Desmond St. John, his rational collaborator, Duff Cooper, and Ella Nostrova, their Belorussian trance medium, as they free the drear departed trapped in the Forever Purgatory of the Bardo realm. In five shocking encounters, The Ghost Righter rescues— ~ The groping ghost in the Lincroft Inn ~ Atheist ghosts who left this world while unblessing a road in Deland ~ A chain-smoking ghost who haunts the children of Dumberton ~ A narcissist ghost who, out of loyalty to the boss, topples a Mafia family ~ Moldy Girl, a vengeful ghost intent on slaying the men of Downer’s Grove Readers, be warned—“God’s other door” opens in both directions. The Cosmic Veil that separates this world from the otherworld is crossable. The afterlife is not Summerland. There is no joy in being dead. If the dead remain in the earth’s plane for too long, they become malevolent has-beings. Even the righteous dead turn into hateful things. Say your prayers. Confess your sins. Carry cloves of garlic. Clutch jars of Holy Water. Clutch the jars tightly. Keep the lights on when you encounter these ghosts. All the lights. All the time.

The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson Pdf

“A fascinating and frightening book” (Los Angeles Times)—the bestselling true story about a house possessed by evil spirits, haunted by psychic phenomena almost too terrible to describe. In December 1975, the Lutz family moved into their new home on suburban Long Island. George and Kathleen Lutz knew that, one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his parents, brothers, and sisters in the house, but the property—complete with boathouse and swimming pool—and the price had been too good to pass up. Twenty-eight days later, the entire Lutz family fled in terror. This is the spellbinding, shocking true story that gripped the nation about an American dream that turned into a nightmare beyond imagining—“this book will scare the hell out of you” (Kansas City Star).

The Haunted House in Women’s Ghost Stories by Emma Liggins Pdf

This book explores Victorian and modernist haunted houses in female-authored ghost stories as representations of the architectural uncanny. It reconsiders the gendering of the supernatural in terms of unease, denial, disorientation, confinement and claustrophobia within domestic space. Drawing on spatial theory by Gaston Bachelard, Henri Lefebvre and Elizabeth Grosz, it analyses the reoccupation and appropriation of space by ghosts, women and servants as a means of addressing the opposition between the past and modernity. The chapters consider a range of haunted spaces, including ancestral mansions, ghostly gardens, suburban villas, Italian churches and houses subject to demolition and ruin. The ghost stories are read in the light of women’s non-fictional writing on architecture, travel, interior design, sacred space, technology, the ideal home and the servant problem. Women writers discussed include Elizabeth Gaskell, Margaret Oliphant, Vernon Lee, Edith Wharton, May Sinclair and Elizabeth Bowen. This book will appeal to students and researchers in the ghost story, Female Gothic and Victorian and modernist women’s writing, as well as general readers with an interest in the supernatural.

True Ghost Stories by Brad Steiger Pdf

True Ghost Stories provides careful analyses of various hauntings, separating the factual from the fake, the real from the imagined. You'll discover that ghosts can not only appear, but that they can contact us and even touch our lives. Presenting the view that time is ongoing, not something that ends in the past or begins in the future, Steiger suggests that ghostly apparitions may often be replays of history. He takes you along with the two women who visited the palace of Versaille in France only to find themselves surrounded by ghosts of the 19th century, to Crete where the phantoms of an ancient battle still march and to Corregidor where the screams, groans and gunshots from the World War II battle are still heard. Regardless of your experience with ghosts, True Ghost Stories gives you an invaluable resource for understanding this fascinating and uncanny phenomenon. It gives you significant facts about ghosts and even reveals features of their nature. With True Ghost Stories you'll be prepared for any encounter with ghosts.

Hauntings and Poltergeists by James Houran,Rense Lange Pdf

Few people can claim the distinction of experiencing first-hand such occurrences as hauntings and the presence of poltergeists, but countless numbers of people are fascinated by these unexplainable events. Written by the world's most knowledgeable authorities in this field, the essays in this work promote a better understanding of the manifestations of and various reasons for hauntings and poltergeist phenomena. The experts come from such backgrounds as anthropology, history, philosophy, psychiatry, and sociology, and provide sober yet highly readable in-depth discussions of numerous ideas and rationalizations for hauntings and poltergeists, from a critical and scientific perspective. Divided into three major sections--sociocultural, physical and physiological, and psychological perspectives--this work provides an overview of each perspective and also addresses the general psychology of belief in the paranormal and how that belief relates to experiences with ghosts and poltergeists.
