Pages : 226
Book Description
“A genuine attempt by someone who is a trained clinical therapist and parapsychologist to scientifically evaluate reported experiences of the paranormal.” —Magonia Review You’ve just laid down for the night when suddenly doors slam and the curtains shift. The lights begin to flicker and a white mist forms in front of you. You shut your eyes and keep muttering, “ghosts aren’t real.” But then you open your eyes and realize that “harmless” mist has shifted into the form of a man, staring intensely at you, as he floats above your bed. What causes ghostly experiences? Are ghosts real? Why do certain people report numerous ghostly encounters and others none? For centuries these questions have intrigued, puzzled, and bedeviled science, skeptics, and even believers. Based on cutting-edge research and new theories, The Ghost Studies provides insight into some of life’s greatest mysteries. This fascinating book is far more than a compilation of ghost stories. The Ghost Studies provides scientific explanations for paranormal occurrences, including: New and exciting scientific theories that explain apparitions, hauntings, and communications from the dead. The latest research on the role of energy and electricity in hauntings. The role that emotions, bioenergetics, and the environment play in supernatural phenomena. New research into why some individuals are more prone to ghostly encounters. “I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of the paranormal . . . This book is well written and opens the doors for countless areas of study and discussion and it is one that you will find yourself going back to again and again.” —Association of Paranormal Study

Book Description
Did you ever wonder why someone left a beautiful antique in the alley, threw away or even buried a valuable possession? A tragic event can remain and attach itself to material things such as clothing, dolls, furniture, paintings, jewelry and even houses. It then can transfer its dark energy on to you, altering your personality making you feel out of control and even destroy your life. Compiled here are the true case files documenting, real evidence of haunted attachments and how it effects its owners or should I say its victims. If you play with paranormal fire you're going to get 'burnt'. This book and documentary is very personal to me as I went through the most difficult time in my life filming our latest documentary The Attached. This was the first time I picked up an attachment during an investigation at St. Albans Sanatorium. I was attacked in Isolation Cell 7. St. Albans has over 14 Isolation Cells that you can visit if you dare.Something at St. Albans attached to my back and I remember spinning around like a chicken with its head cut off. It was heavy, like human baggage taking a stronghold on my frame. I remember screaming "Get off me, Get off me." After eventually it subsiding. I felt lighter as it calmed down enough to be able to leave. Within six months after I almost died. Leaving out the gory-building details, getting straight to the point, I was checked into the hospital with some form of thing residing inside the middle of me. It was ruled out as a tumor yet they found a large unknown entity living inside of me. It was successfully removed but that entity remains at Harvards Medical University in a specimen jar as it had stem cells and teeth. Was this some form of an attachment or just a coincidence, you decide as you read on....BTW: Isolation Cell 7 is where patient Rebecca was kept..

50 Real Ghost Stories
Author: M J Wayland
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781909667006
Category : Ghosts
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
A real ghost story should never end perfectly. That is my rule of thumb. After investigating ghost experiences for nearly thirty years, I realised that the finely polished stories told by storytellers and "ghost walkers" were exactly that - polished. In polishing stories we lose the personality of the haunted and indeed the haunter itself, that is why in my books, research papers and articles, I always maintain the original testaments and facts. The stories that I have collected for you now are rough diamonds, totally unpolished and any additions by myself are kept to a minimum and noted clearly." P. [4] of cover.

The World's Most Haunted Hospitals
Author: Richard Estep
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 1632659727
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
A paramedic and paranormal investigator takes readers on a terrifying tour of haunted hospitals, asylums, and medical facilities across the globe. Hospitals are the nexus point between life and death, the place into which people enter this world, but also exit it. When we consider what has taken place behind the closed doors of hospitals since the inception of the medical profession, it should come as no surprise to discover that so many of them are haunted. In The World's Most Haunted Hospitals, paramedic and paranormal investigator Richard Estep recounts some of the most fascinating—and chilling—stories of hospital hauntings from across the globe, including: The apparitions at an old Utah hospital, now a nursing home, whose appearances are said to predict a patient's death. The Italian island referred to by locals as "the gateway to Hell," where the spirits of thousands of plague victims prowl the streets. The terrifying phenomena that keep visitors away from an abandoned airbase hospital in the Philippines. The ghostly nurse who has haunted the corridors of a London hospital for generations.

Open graves, open minds
Author: Sam George
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526102161
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This collection of interconnected essays relates the Undead in literature, art and other media to questions concerning gender, race, genre, technology, consumption and social change. A coherent narrative follows Enlightenment studies of the vampire's origins in folklore and folk panics, the sources of vampire fiction, through Romantic incarnations in Byron and Polidori to Le Fanu's Carmilla. Further essays discuss the Undead in the context of Dracula, fin-de-siècle decadence, Nazi Germany and early cinematic treatments. The rise of the sympathetic vampire is charted from Coppola's film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight. More recent manifestations in novels, TV, Goth subculture, young adult fiction and cinema are dealt with in discussions of True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and much more. Featuring distinguished contributors, including a prominent novelist, and aimed at interdisciplinary scholars or postgraduate students, it will also appeal to aficionados of creative writing and Undead enthusiasts. www.opengravesopenminds.com
