Author: Dorah L. Williams
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1459729951
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 413
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. But that curiosity didn’t last long, because shortly after moving in, strange things began to happen. 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. Upon writing Haunted, Dorah thought her situation was unique. What she didn’t realize was how many others would relate to how it feels to be haunted, too. After being flooded by emails from people with similar experiences, Dorah began to realize this wasn’t uncommon at all. So Haunted Too came to be. Not only will it entertain the reader, as good ghost stories always have, but it will also help the reader to better understand this phenomenon, with the inclusion of shared experiences, opinions, and advice of professionals in this field.

Book Description
Read all three books in V.E. Schwab's spine-tingling, bestselling City of Ghosts series: City of Ghosts, Tunnel of Bones, and Bridge of Souls! Available together for the first time! V.E. (Victoria) Schwab, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, takes readers on three sweeping, evocative adventures in three different haunted cities. Ever since Cassidy Blake almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead... and enter the world of spirits. Even her best friend, Jacob, is a ghost. But Cass's life is about to get much stranger. When her parents are tapped to host a show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to film around the world. Book One takes them to Edinburgh, Scotland, where graveyards and castles teem with restless phantoms, one of whom has their sights set on capturing Cass. Can Cass, together with Jacob and a new friend who seems to share her gift, outsmart the Raven in Red? In Book Two, Cass comes to Paris, where she discovers that the City of Light hides scary poltergeists in its dark underbelly. And Book Three brings Cass to New Orleans, where Cass and her friends will have to face off with a servant of Death itself. Three books. Three cities. One fearless heroine. And a host of ghosts you won't soon forget. "Spine tingling and page-turning, perfectly blending humor, heart, and adventure . . . I loved it!" -- Jennifer A. Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of The False Prince "A thrilling and chilling mystery that will have you counting the days until Cass's next adventure." -- Zoraida Cordova, author of the Brooklyn Brujas series * "This atmospheric ghost story chills and charms while challenging readers to face their fears.

Rich. Famous. Glamorous. Dead ... and Immortal! From old Hollywood silent film stars to rock stars to athletes, past presidents, and famous generals, celebrated individuals sometimes become celebrity ghosts, and they haunt their homes, workplaces, and even burial places. In turn, those places become famous, even notorious, thanks to the ghost that is haunting it! Celebrity Ghosts and Notorious Hauntings looks at many famous ghosts—dead celebrities that haunt old Hollywood locales, famous generals that appear to witnesses at great battlefields, and noted politicians that roam the hallways of courthouses, statehouses, and even the White House! Plus, this fascinating frightfest examines the famous haunted locations themselves, such as the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, the Hotel del Coronado, Gettysburg, the Stanley Hotel (which inspired Stephen King’s The Shining) and so many others that claim the supernatural as part of their heritage and history. This riveting look at the unexplained also investigates movie lore, including the unsettling incidents on the Amityville Horror set; “The Dark Knight” curse that includes on-set accidents from the horrible death of Heath Ledger, who played the Joker, to the mass shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises; the deaths and curse surrounding The Matrix; the Infamous Stage 28 at Universal Studios; and Paramount Studios’ long history of hauntings and strange goings-on. Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Frank Sinatra, and Hank Williams. Presidents John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, and Harry Truman. Henry VIII, beheaded Sir Walter Raleigh, and Prince Edward V. Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Marilyn Monroe, and “Superman” actor George Reeves. Houdini, Redd Foxx, Liberace, and serial-killer Ted Bundy. They all lurk in this riveting book.

Old Castle 5-Book Box Set: Five Horror Novels: The Squatter, Billy's Experiment, Crazy Daisy, Hotel Miramar, Rosie
Author: Jonathan Dunne
Publisher: Jonathan Dunne
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1700
Book Description
Welcome to the town of Old Castle, where life isn't as it seems. Old Castle 5-Book Box Set includes Jonathan Dunne's first five horror novels: The Squatter, Billy's Experiment, Crazy Daisy, Hotel Miramar, and Rosie. The Squatter: Single mom, Molly Greene, is forced to close her Michelin star restaurant due to the Covid 19 pandemic. To escape the ghosts of her past and the high cost of city living, Molly moves the Greene family to the isolated town of Old Castle where they move into a free-of-charge 200-year-old stately farmhouse...which isn’t quite vacant. The Greene family realise they've become unwitting participants in a macabre contest where the farmhouse is the first prize...or is it? Little do they know they're sharing their house with a sinister squatter that lingers in the fireplace and likes to come out and play when the sun goes down. Financially broke, Molly decides to go public about the ominous presence in the farmhouse, hoping to cash in on the phenomena, never considering the repercussions of her actions. Billy's Experiment: A dark tale of mistaken identity... On the night of a lunar eclipse, park ranger Bill Steward rescues a baby from a strange band of misfits on the misty moors of Old Castle's national park. Seven autumns later, Bill and his wife, Dorothy, discover a ghastly experiment in a treehouse and a mysterious medical prescription written in a childish scribble. Bill realises what he'd observed on the moors seven autumns ago wasn't what it seemed. Who was saving who, exactly? Just as Bill's eclipse is beginning, so, too, is Billy's. Crazy Daisy: It is always night in the cave. Take my cold hand. Weeks before young Fern Keegan sees the ghostly silhouettes in the river tunnel during the Old Castle floods, a deranged patient, Gabriel Bogdan, makes an outrageous claim nobody at The Hillside Psychiatric Hospital believes until it's too late. The river runs through it, and the river runs deep. My name is Daisy, but you may know me as Crazy Daisy. Hotel Miramar: Welcome to Hotel Miramar, where the guests aren't guests. Journalist Dan Armstrong works for a struggling local newspaper. To save the tabloid from closure, Dan carries out one last assignment - the mysterious evacuation of the islanders from Crab Island, now an off-limits nature reserve. But Dan and his family soon learn the impromptu evacuation of Crab Island isn’t the only mystery on the island. A living, breathing terror lurks on the desolate isle. The Armstrongs don't find a nature reserve, but a freak-of-nature reserve. Dan's story for the local newspaper goes 'viral' for all the wrong reasons. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at Hotel Miramar, a once-in-a-lifetime experience... Rosie: A deep well of the darkest wishes. Rosie and Victor Ryan, real estate investors, land a massive sale to a mystery buyer of Wishing Well House. But the same night the Ryan family celebrate the sale, a bizarre accident robs Rosie of her mobility, freezing their idyllic life in tragedy. Victor volunteers to be Rosie’s full-time caregiver. But the accident has turned his wife into a paranoid stranger in a wheelchair she calls Winter. Rosie is convinced an evil entity of untold horror lurks outside their house and is trying to come in. Her obsession with protecting the household triggers Victor’s descent into madness. As the Ryan household spirals into claustrophobic dread and terrifying secrets, the eccentric occupants of Wishing Well House carry out a shocking ceremony with sinister results. A mother's love knows no bounds.
