Ghosts, Apparitions and Poltergeists: An Exploration of the Supernatural Through History

Skeletal remains rotting behind cellar walls, temple priests removing brains with iron hooks, phantom locomotives roaring across midnight plains--Brian Righi isn't making this stuff up. The ghost stories he finds in history are far more chilling than any Hollywood horror scene. Join the seasoned paranormal investigator on a tour through mankind's millennium-old obsession with death and the afterlife. Ghosts, Apparitions and Poltergeists surveys 4,000 years of hauntings and ghost huntings--from the embalming rituals of ancient Egypt to the Ouija boards and s ances of nineteenth century Spiritualism--highlighting a few outlandish tales and colorful characters along the way. Once you've learned the history, launch a paranormal investigation of your own with Righi's guide to modern ghost hunting, full of detailed advice culled from his seven years of experience in the field.

Awesome Ghost Book

Once I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. The author includes everything from the history of ghosts, to authentic case studies, to even how to hunt ghosts. I hope he writes more soon I cannot wait to read them.

Awesome!

Awesome book! Well told, and has excellent stories and cases. Sad it didn't give more. They were enjoyable. I a psychic, but I not like others. I do not claim to know all, nor seek attention. I rather stay away from such things, keep to my self. I do not take sides of Ghost Hunters and such psychics that have ego needs for false knowledge, pride, greed, and fame. I do not have no need for beleifs, just what is or not real...
