Book Description
It was an irrational decision. Despite having just moved into a beautiful new house, the Williams family gave in to an odd, overwhelming desire to purchase and move into a Victorian home they had come upon by chance. They were curious, of course, as to why the house had in the past had such a high vacancy rate. But that curiosity didn’t last long, because shortly after moving in, strange things began to happen. At first the family tried telling themselves there were logical explanations for the strange things they all were witnessing. But before long they came to accept the fact that they were sharing their home with ghosts. Haunted is the Williams family’s story from the point of view of the mother, Dorah. Through her chilling reminiscences, we witness the all-too-real goings-on in the house. Upon writing Haunted, Dorah thought her situation was unique. What she didn’t realize was how many others would relate to how it feels to be haunted, too. After being flooded by emails from people with similar experiences, Dorah began to realize this wasn’t uncommon at all. So Haunted Too came to be. Not only will it entertain the reader, as good ghost stories always have, but it will also help the reader to better understand this phenomenon, with the inclusion of shared experiences, opinions, and advice of professionals in this field.

Pages : 268
Book Description
The stories that rationalizing and excuses can't solve... Have you ever had the feeling of being watched in an empty room? Or jumped at a fleeting shadow you saw in the corner of your eye? Did you tell yourself it was only your imagination? We all know a ghost story or two. You may have heard them at campfires or sleepovers, or maybe you can recall the experience of someone you know. Some of these are easy to explain away, fading from your memory over time. But there are always a few which linger, unexplainable and waiting to be remembered the next time you find yourself home alone. These stories are different because there's evidence that is difficult to ignore. These are not "I heard from a friend of a friend..." stories, but events and individuals whose existence can be proven. We look to professionals to challenge such claims--but what happens when doctors and lawyers acknowledge and defend possessions and hauntings? The dividing line between science and the paranormal suddenly seems less certain... When hauntings are used as legal evidence, and possessions are reported by renowned physicians, the only logical choice is to be open to the possibilities. We can no longer deny that terrifying things do happen, whether we're looking for them or not. Step into the chilling histories of events even the most stubborn skeptics cannot explain--tales which sound stranger than fiction, but are frighteningly true. In Ghost Stories, you will find cases that stump skeptics and span the globe. Inside, you will discover: 30+ chilling tales of ghosts and demons that will have you leaving on your lights next time you go to sleep at night The dark histories behind well-known stories like Dracula, Snow White, and more How hauntings have evolved in the digital age The story behind the sprawling Winchester house and its staircases leading to nowhere The asylum where thousands of patients were tortured, leaving nothing but an echo of its past Why you should never try to explore the Paris catacombs unless you're wanting an unpleasant surprise The history of the real-life doll that inspired Chucky How a Ouija board affected an entire town And much more. If you find yourself scoffing at the idea of demons and ghosts, hold your judgment until you've read the compelling research presented. We try to define our world in clear, rational terms. But time and time again, experiences teach us that the world is not rational, and that denying the unexplainable won't make it go away. If you're ready to discover what lurks in the shadows and stalks in the night, then scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button right now. Be sure to leave your nightlight on.

Book Description
Reminiscent of Doll Bones and Small Spaces, this “delightfully eerie” (Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows) middle grade novel tells the story of a girl who must rescue her aunt by entering a world of ghosts, witches, and monsters to play a game with deadly consequences. Evie Von Rathe lives in Blight Harbor—the seventh-most haunted town in America—with her Aunt Desdemona, the local paranormal expert. Des doesn’t have many rules except one: Stay out of the abandoned slaughterhouse at the edge of town. But when her aunt disappears into the building, Evie goes searching for her. There she meets The Clackity, a creature who lives in the shadows and seams of the slaughterhouse. The Clackity makes a deal with Evie to help get Des back in exchange for the ghost of John Jeffrey Pope, a serial killer who stalked Blight Harbor a hundred years earlier. Evie reluctantly embarks on a journey into a strange otherworld filled with hungry witches, penny-eyed ghosts, and a memory-thief, all while being pursued by a dead man whose only goal is to add Evie to his collection of lost souls. Will she ever find Des, or is The Clackity planning something far more sinister?
