books about: hauntings     books:       Ghosts of the Northeast12 reviews David J. Pitkin Aurora Publications (NY), 2002 Fascinating! I don't usually venture outside New England for my ghosts, but this bone-chilling collection was well worth every step of the journey! This is not a short read by any means. There are 380 pages of stories here, in fairly small print, and still you will wish there were more. The author writes primarily about his regional area of New York. His writing style is inquisitive, with much ...             Comstock Phantoms14 reviews Brian David Bruns Brian David Bruns, 2003 Entertaining and Enlightening Comstock Phantoms Brian Bruns has written a very entertaining book on the Comstock Ghosts and Hauntings. He has wrapped his own ghost hunting experiences into a book that is spooky as well as historical. It has been a pleasure to pass on my copy (and buy another for myself and also another for my daughter) to my daughter-in-law who also could not put it down. On visiting Virginia City and the the Comstock ...             Haunted Illinois14 reviews Troy A Taylor Whitechapel Productions Press, 1999 Wonderful Book! I've read a lot of these true haunted and ghost story books, and this is one of the very best.

The author is a great researcher and a good writer. I can't imagine someone not liking this book. The only ...             Passing Strange: True Tales of New England Hauntings and Horrors22 reviews Joseph Citro Houghton Mifflin, 1996 Ghosties, ghoulies, and a mystery or two From the title of this book, I was expecting mostly ghost stories. However, this book is unique in its genre, and I was very pleasantly surprised! Although this book has much legend and lore, of which I am not usually a fan, this author's ability as a raconteur quickly overcomes the boundaries of time. These tales are superbly told by a master at his game. Joseph Citro, in his own words, ...             Footprints in the Snow: True Stories of Haunted Russia26 reviews James, L. Choron Zumaya Publications US, 2007 Trully amazing Mr Choron has done what few in the paranormal field have done. He has brought to light the paranormal experiences that everyday people have without the sensationalism.

I couldn't put this book down. It is a must read for anyone interested in science, death, anatomy, or just the bizarre aspects of decomposition! Really interesting stuff in here and the writer is at turns witty, serious, and altogether a prolific story-teller. A definite favorite in my own collection of books to read and re-read. GREAT!             The Haunted: One Family's Nightmare16 reviews Robert Curran St Martins Pr, 1988 A nightmare close to home I live 2 miles away from West Pittston and know people who either knew the Smurls or who are related to them. I actually attended their national press conference when all of these events occurred. I will *never* forget the feeling that I had when I first heard the story as a teen. I used to be really well read with this topic but once the 'drama' of it all died down I didn't think much of it. I ...             Hard Rock Lovers15 reviews Paul Kyriazi Ronin Audio Books, 2006 An all-star cast of my generation! I swooned over Rod Taylor and Robert Culp! Wow! My sister pointed me to this audio book and I couldn't believe my ears. I just relaxed on my bed to listen and was absolutely delighted with the movie-quality of the sound effects. Not only is this a masterful, well-written plot, it's also a quality production. The best I've heard. And those stars that the magnificent author/director Paul Kyriazi lined up for this special version of ...             Spectre: A Haunting Tale of Death, Demons, and Deception5 reviews Savannah North iUniverse, Inc., 2004 Enthralling A New York Times Best Seller candidate for sure. The author has great gift for making you feel like you are actually living through the events in the story. The characters seem to come alive.

I am anxiously awaiting the next book from this extremely talented writer.             Phantoms of Old Louisville: Ghostly Tales from America's Most Haunted Neighborhood6 reviews David Domine McClanahan Publishing House, 2006 Another Great Read I recently moved to Old Louisville and knowing nothing about the area, read the first book by David Domine, Ghosts of Old Louisville. I was sorry when the book ended and started immediately on the second book, Phantoms of Old Louisville.

I am so glad that he did write about these old ...             Supernatural California: A Golden State Guide to Ufos, Extraterrestrials, Ghosts, Hauntings, Cryptozoological ...5 reviews Preston Dennett, Kesara Schiffer Publishing, 2006 Now That's What I'm Talkin' About! California's strange has been given a new leader in informative material. More material than previous books on the state's unusual sites, happenings and creatures. This one brings us encounters right up to the 21st century. But as I've stated in several of my other reviews, beware of certain deceptive phenomena (Ufos, ghosts, Virgin Mary sightings, etc.). If God wants to give us a special message ...             Daniel Plainway or the Holiday Haunting of the Moosepath League9 reviews Van Reid Topeka Bindery, 2001 Hurray for the Moosepath League!!

I came upon this wonderful tome of stories accidentally while searching for a short story by John Collier, just one of the authors included of the seventeen, entitled "Thus I Refute Beelzy," a story that shows that a child's imagination can be a scary, evil place. The tales are remarkably eerie and marvellously unique in their approach to not only ghosts but to the shared demons of all humanity, ...              search for books abortion, california, comstock, creatures, cryptozoological, deception, encounters, engrossing, exploration, extraterrestrials, footprints, forensic, forensics, haunting, hauntings, illinois, louisville, moosepath, mystical, neighborhood, nightmare, northeast, phantoms, pinpoint, plainway, sexuality, struggle, supernatural, victorian, wildfire books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
