Book Description

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.

Book Description

APRIL, 1921 - GUYRA, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA. For over a month in 1921, the tiny town of Guyra in northern NSW was the focus of national attention as events unfolded that would form the basis of Australia's most prominent poltergeist case, as the home of the Bowen family was bombarded by stones from nowhere, and the walls were pounded on by unseen hands. Here, for the first time, is a collection of all the available newspaper articles that were published regarding the incident at the time. This book is not a "ghost story" in the sense of a standard linear tale. This is a collection of evidence, from which you are invited to draw your own conclusions as to what happened in Guyra all those years ago. Hoax? Or a true case of paranormal phenomena...?

Book Description

Based on a True Story. In 2012, Keith Linder and his girlfriend took up residency in a Seattle suburban home. Within days of moving in, they became victim to some of the most hellish treatments attributed to malevolent activity. Prepare yourself, because this tale is like no other. A well written Forward lets you know what's about to come. Hell is coming. Pure hell. Keith Linder has not only decided to share his horrible experience. But he's also decided to include video and audio evidence (in the order of which they occurred). Video reenactments of what scared him the most. Aftermath pictures of what attacked them combined with the audio and video evidence are what set this book apart from other haunted tales. Finally, the truth comes out about what happened in that house. What Keith and his girlfriend lived through and equally important what others before him lived through is spread throughout the book in a chilling way. Yes, this house was featured on Travel Channels Ghost Adventures episode titled "Demons in Seattle." The episode where Zak Bagans and crew left empty-handed. Keith Linder explains why they left handed. The reader is not going to have that problem. The horror we witnessed will be explained in black and white. Some even in color. I wish I could say the same for what created it. Get ready. The Bothell Hell House: Poltergeist of Washington State is finally here ladies and gentlemen. The truth.

Book Description

It began with a key. One afternoon in 1956, in the home of the Hitchings family in Battersea, south London, a small silver key appeared on Shirley Hitchings' bed. This seemingly insignificant event heralded the beginning of one of the most terrifying, incredible and mysterious hauntings in British history. The spirit, who quickly became known as 'Donald', began to communicate, initially via tapping sounds, but over time - and with the encouragement of psychical researcher Harold Chibbett, whose case-files appear here – by learning to write. Soon, the spirit had begun to make simply incredible claims about his identity, insisting that he was one of the most famous figures in world history – but what was the truth? Here, for the first time, is the full story, told by the woman right at the heart of it all – Shirley herself.

Book Description

Poltergeists like causing havoc. They throw things around in people's homes and play tricks with lights and household appliances. Mysterious voices, insistent knocking and weird shrieking can announce their presence, or sometimes it's peculiar smells with no apparent source (the whiff of pipe tobacco or lingering perfumes from another age). One day you might even see a poltergeist as it turns into a full-bodied apparition before your eyes. But beware, poltergeists can pinch, slap and sexually assault the living. An attack by a poltergeist can be among the most terrifying experiences that any human is likely to encounter. This book is an exploration of the phenomenon from earliest times to the present day, highlighting the activities of these phantoms, the efforts of researchers to document and understand what is going on as well as the explanations that have been put forward.
