Haunted Cemeteries
Author: Tom Ogden
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493036637
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Everybody knows better. Yet from the days of ancient Greece, people have hurried their steps as they passed by—or, heaven forbid, walked through—a cemetery after dark. Indeed, over the centuries there have been countless stories of ghost encounters at churchyards, secular cemeteries, ancient burial grounds, and isolated graves. The second edition of Haunted Cemeteries exhumes more than 200 haunted happenings from restless graveyard ghosts in cemeteries across each of the fifty states and Washington, DC, including: Nevermore!: At least four entities, including the spectre of Edgar Allan Poe, haunt Westminster Burying Ground in Baltimore. And just who is the mysterious Man in Black that shows up every year on January 19, the writer’s birthday?. The Resurrection Apparition: A “hitchhiking ghost” outside Justice, Illinois, vanishes from the car she’s riding in as it passes Resurrection Cemetery—earning her the nickname Resurrection Mary. The Queen of Voodoo: The restless spirit of Marie Laveau, the nineteenth-century Queen of Voodoo, is said to appear in New Orleans’s St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in the form of a gigantic black crow or a phantom black hellhound—when she’s not walking through the French Quarter.

The Victors
Author: Peter Young
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
History has shown that every great general earned his reputation on the basis of one great victory. "The Victors" describes the 16 battles in which the 16 most famous generals in modern history made their reputations. From both a strategical and tactical point of view, the ways the generals fought and won their greatest victories are presented in this book edited by the well-known military historian, Brigadier Peter Young. Some generals who made their reputations, such as Napoleon at Austerlitz, deserve the fame won on the field of battle that day. Others, like General Haig on the Black Day in 1918 or Marshal Petain at Verdun, have tarnished reputations despite their victories. In this book several historians examine the process of hero-building by analyzing the greatest generals of modern history in their most well-known battles. Illustrated with tactical and strategic maps, as well as hundreds of photos and paintings, many of them in color. "The Victors" will prove to be a standard work for students of military history.

Don't Look Back
Author: Ben Cheetham
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781790760299
Category : Children
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Adam's eyes swelled in horror at the sight that confronted him. Henry was standing with his back against the front door, pale and rigid, his left hand pressed to his neck. Blood was seeping between his fingers, running down his wrist and dripping from his elbow onto the back of Jacob's head. Jacob was facedown on the tiled floor, arms outstretched to either side with blood pooling around his wrists. There was a faintly metallic butcher's shop smell in the air... After the tragic death of their eleven-year-old son, Adam and Ella are fighting to keep their family from falling apart. Then comes an opportunity that seems too good to be true. They win a competition to live for free in a breathtakingly beautiful mansion on the Cornish Lizard Peninsula. There's just one catch - the house is supposedly haunted. Mystery has always swirled around Fenton House. In 1920 the house's original owner, reclusive industrialist Walter Lewarne, hanged himself from its highest turret. In 1996, the then inhabitants, George Trehearne, his wife Sofia and their young daughter Heloise disappeared without a trace. Neither mystery was ever solved. Adam is not the type to believe in ghosts. As far as he's concerned, ghosts are simply memories. Everywhere he looks in their cramped London home he sees his dead son. Despite misgivings, the chance to start afresh is too tempting to pass up. Adam, Ella and their surviving son Henry move into Fenton House. At first, the change of scenery gives them all a new lease of life. But as the house starts to reveal its secrets, they come to suspect that they may not be alone after all... What readers are saying about Ben Cheetham's books 'I love love loved this book! Had me gripped right from the start and just had to keep reading it!' 'A dark and twisting narrative that will keep you turning the pages. Ben Cheetham's characters, though sometimes tainted or, indeed, pure evil, are completely believable.' 'The only trouble with this book is that sleep and work got in the way.' 'I loved this book and continue to think about the characters after I finished.' 'Brilliantly written and had me totally captivated. Didn't want to stop reading as I felt myself getting pulled into the drama and wanting to find out what happened next.' 'Wow! I loved this book. The suspense kept me on the edge of my chair!'
