Book Description
A ghost is an apparition of a person, now deceased, that manifests itself as a living being. But that is only part of the story, and other cultures have paranormal phenomena of their own which have been absorbed into their mythology stretching back through time. This book examines many of the classic cases of hauntings around the world. Not only does it discuss the ghostly tales of kings, queens, nobles, murderers and their victims, and the real story behind "The Exorcist," but it also reveals the ghostly phenomena connected with more modern celebrities, from James Dean to Elvis Presley. Also examined in detail are chilly apparitions of ghost animals, inanimate objects, and even haunted places from the classic haunted house to a possessed shopping mall.

Book Description
A case-centred study of Phantom Hitch-Hikers & Phantom Jaywalkers in Folklore and Fact. Tales of Phantom Hitch-Hikers are found the world over. But is there anything more to them than the staple of contemporary folklore they appear to be? Cases like Blue Bell Hill suggest there is. Here, and in numerous other modern cases, witnesses report vivid and terrifying encounters with solid-looking figures that step into the paths of their vehicles. These events show an affinity with the legendary Phantom Hitch-Hiker, suggesting that far from being mere vestiges of a superstitious folk tradition, they may reflect a genuine but complex phenomenon that continues to manifest in modern times and settings, and challenges our very notions of reality. This book traces Blue Bell Hill's ghost from its roots in folklore to compelling fact, with nearly 50 witness accounts attesting to it as an important modern example of haunting on record, and arguably the foremost case of its kind in the world today.
