Haunted
Author: Dorah L. Williams
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1770701117
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 193
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 - no one ever seemed to live in it for a long period of time. But that curiosity didn’t last long, because shortly after moving in, strange things began to happen. It became abundantly clear that the home’s past owners had all had a reason for leaving: fear. The Williams’ new home was haunted. 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. And we join the family as they seek a way to bring an end to the paranormal events that were occurring with ever more frequency and intensity, and learn why the events began in the first place.

American Ghost
Author: Hannah Nordhaus
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062249231
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
“A haunting story about the long reach of the past.”—Maureen Corrigan, NPR’S Fresh Air “In this intriguing book, [Nordhaus] shares her journey to discover who her immigrant ancestor really was—and what strange alchemy made the idea of her linger long after she was gone.” —People La Posada—“place of rest”—was once a grand Santa Fe mansion. It belonged to Abraham and Julia Staab, who emigrated from Germany in the mid-nineteenth century. After they died, the house became a hotel. And in the 1970s, the hotel acquired a resident ghost—a sad, dark-eyed woman in a long gown. Strange things began to happen there: vases moved, glasses flew, blankets were ripped from beds. Julia Staab died in 1896—but her ghost, they say, lives on. In American Ghost, Julia’s great-great-granddaughter, Hannah Nordhaus, traces her ancestor’s transfiguration from nineteenth-century Jewish bride to modern phantom. Family diaries, photographs, and newspaper clippings take her on a riveting journey through three hundred years of German history and the American immigrant experience. With the help of historians, genealogists, family members, and ghost hunters, she weaves a masterful, moving story of fin-de-siècle Europe and pioneer life, villains and visionaries, medicine and spiritualism, imagination and truth, exploring how lives become legends, and what those legends tell us about who we are.

Pages : 191
Book Description
We all fear what goes bump in the night, but what if the bump in the night follows you every time you move to a new location. For many years, the same ghosts and specters have haunted the Miller family as they move from house to house and state-to-state. Everywhere they turn, the hauntings continue. The oldest, Kyle, and his two younger siblings, Kristina and younger brother, Kaleb, seem to be the primary targets of these entities. At least, the children seem to think so especially when the old hag chases Kristina into town during the middle of the night. “I leaned over and whispered ‘Demons' to Kris, who only nodded in agreement. Kaleb was sitting between us and he nodded in agreement as well.” This is a gripping and terrifying story based on true events of the Miller family. As adults, they have each come to terms with their individual and collective hauntings.
