The Haunted School


Book Description

There was a girl named Angela, and she went to school. One day she opened her drawer and found a book. She took the book home and then opened it to read it. But she found out that was not a book but a diary about a young girl named Clarissa who died on the day of Halloween. Angela searched the name Clarissa in the portfolio of her class and then found an ID for Clarissa. She read it and then stopped. Death date, she said. She looked at the day. It was on Halloween. Her birthday was on Halloween. The next day, she went to school, and after the class when everybody had left, Angela read the diary and then heard the doorknob twisting. She put down the papers and hid them back and ran. Angela told the story about Clarissa to her friends, and they told her Clarissa looked a lot like her and that there was a legend about her. Angelas friends told her that there was a portrait of Clarissa in the school basement. One day, Angela went to the school basement after class. When she went down to the basement, she looked around and thought it was like a castle. She saw lots of portraits of the kids who were in the school, principals, teachers. And she walked around the room until she found portraits from 1935. The she saw Clarissas name. She looked at the picture and softly touched it. For some reason, she felt weird. She then felt dizzy and took the elevator and ran home.

Book Description

Jamaica Jones and the Treasure of the Haunted School takes readers on an adventure spanning centuries. In 1699, a riverside village witnesses the intense rivalry between John Jones, now the infamous pirate ‘Jamaica’ Jones, and Josia Cain, now Admiral Josia Cain of the Royal Navy. Amidst hoards of stolen gold, capture, and execution, the question remains: what happened to the treasure? Fast forward a few hundred years to the same village. The ‘Ram Jam Gang,’ a group of mischievous schoolchildren, devises a plan to fake hauntings at their school, inspired by local legends of the ghost of ‘Jamaica’ Jones, reputedly guarding his treasure. Their scheme is so convincing that an exorcist is brought in. When his attempts fail, the gang encounters the ghost of the old pirate himself and strikes a deal to ensure his peace. Will the gang succeed? Is Miss Cain, the stern headteacher, a descendant of Admiral Cain, or is it merely a coincidence? And most importantly, what about the treasure?

Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio


Book Description

There is a dark history in southwest Ohio that some people would much rather forget. A riot tore through downtown Cincinnati in 1884, a fire burned relentlessly at the Salvation Army orphanage on Front Street, and one of the largest mass murders in history occurred in a small, unassuming home in Hamilton. Many of these tragedies have begun to fade away, forgotten in dusty books hidden on library shelves. The spirits of those involved in these tragedies, though, are not so easily forgotten. Many of the most popular historic sites and some of the lesser-known and forgotten corners of southwest Ohio are haunted by the spirits of those who lived and died there. Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio examines the ghostly history of more than 30 such locations. It tells ghost stories and reports historic events from area theaters, cemeteries, museums, parks, roads, railroad tracks, and even a castle through narrative and photographs. Perhaps the ghosts are history's way of remembering the past--even those dark corners of the past that few would like to relive.




A Gathering of Spirits: Japan's Ghost Story Tradition


Book Description

"Prepare for a sampling of Japanese ghosts and spirits, from sources that include the worlds oldest novel, the urban legends of contemporary Japanese schoolchildren, movies both classic and modern, anime, manga, and more." For hundreds of years Japan has lived in a reality consisting of the real world and the spirit world; sometimes the wall between the two worlds gets thin enough for spirits to cross over. In such a reality, ghost stories have been popular for centuries. Patrick Drazen, author of "Anime Explosion", looks at these stories: old and new, scary or funny or sad, looking at common themes and the reasons for their popularity. This book uses one Japanese ghost story tradition: the "hyaku monogatari" (hundred stories). In the old tradition, people tell each other one hundred ghost stories in one sitting. These hundred tales run from folklore to cartoons, but all are designed to send chills up the spine ...
