Pages : 189
Book Description
Sixteen-year-old Molly Erickson is beginning to believe in love after death. A ghost hunting aficionado and amateur author, she has recently suffered the loss of her mother to cancer. However, a sequence of mysterious events has led her to consider the possibility that the spirit of her mother may be visiting and attempting to comfort her. This only intensifies her interest in the hereafter. Molly, along with her best friends, Shandi and Beth, form S.A.S.S. (The Spirit And Specter Sisterhood) in an attempt to find if there is any truth behind Molly’s sensations. Added to the mix is Molly’s green-eyed love interest: a new boy at school, Seth, who happens to be “sensitive” to the spirits of those recently departed. Seth is dealing with demons of his own; a family embarrassed by his sensitivity and an athletic twin brother who makes him feel inadequate. Is Molly’s mother really beckoning from the beyond? Could an evil entity be masking itself in a friendly façade? Or, has Molly’s mind simply been pushed past the point of reason by the loss she has suffered? It’s up to S.A.S.S. to find the answers in this twisting tale of friendship, romance, and the search for eternal love.

Haunting Experiences
Author: Diane Goldstein
Publisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 0874216818
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.

Hauntings of the Underground Railroad
Author: Jane Simon Ammeson
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 025303129X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Stories of the runaway slaves who left their spirits behind. “An easy read and an odd collection of tales of murders, mayhem, madness, and sadness.” —Folklore Before the Civil War, a network of secret routes and safe houses crisscrossed the Midwest to help African Americans travel north to escape slavery. Although many slaves were able to escape to the safety of Canada, others met untimely deaths on the treacherous journey—and some of these unfortunates still linger, unable to rest in peace. In Hauntings of the Underground Railroad: Ghosts of the Midwest, Jane Simon Ammeson investigates unforgettable and chilling tales of these restless ghosts that still walk the night. This unique collection includes true and gruesome stories, like the story of a lost toddler who wanders the woods near the Story Inn, eternally searching for the mother torn from him by slave hunters, or the tale of the Hannah House, where an overturned oil lamp sparked a fire that trapped slaves hiding in the basement and burned them alive. Brave visitors who visit the house, which is now a bed and breakfast, claim they can still hear voices moaning and crying from the basement. Ammeson also includes incredible true stories of daring escapes and close calls on the Underground Railroad. A fascinating and spine-tingling glimpse into our past, Hauntings of the Underground Railroad will keep you up all night.

From Shaman to Scientist
Author: James Houran
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 9780810850545
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
"The writers of From Shaman to Scientist take the approach that there is no such thing as the supernatural, only things we don't yet understand. The ghost experience is examined through case studies; forms and functions ghost hunters have taken throughout history; key historical figures and their influence on the research of ghostly phenomena: ghost hunting in the twenty-first century, including the exploding trend of Internet ghost-hunting organizations; and the advances in the theory and technology of the parapsychology field. For those who are skeptical about the reality of ghosts but want to understand how so many individuals claim to have anomalous experiences, this collection reviews the data, offers insight into logical explanations, and discusses why this is - and has been for centuries - such an important and intriguing issue."--BOOK JACKET.
