Book Description
Most people think of sun, sand, and endless parties when they hear the word 'Caribbean'. In some cases all of that's true, which is why the Caribbean islands remain one of the premier destinations for sun worshippers and party goers worldwide. Here's a not so hidden secret though: the history of the Caribbean is much darker than many people realize. The islands of the Caribbean became prized possessions during the age of exploration. Some, such as Trinidad, could act as a launching pad for further journeys into South America, while others were sought after for their fertile soil. Many plantations sprung up to take full advantage of profitable crops such as coffee and cacao. However, the colonial masters certainly weren't going to undertake the grueling labor themselves. Thus the often violent and bloody slave trade began. Any reputable history text will tell of the suffering faced by many slaves at the hands of their masters, who were perfectly willing to sacrifice human rights in the name of greed. As if that wasn't enough, entire islands often changed hands when wars were fought between European invaders. As one can imagine, losses were incurred on both sides. What does that have to do with the Caribbean of today? If you're a paranormal enthusiast: everything. Even a novice knows that places with violent and tragic histories are often breeding grounds for paranormal activity. Negative energy tends to build up and, with nowhere for it to go, the location often becomes a hub for ghostly activities. There's no shortage of such areas in the Caribbean. If you're planning a visit to the Caribbean and you'd like to check out some haunted sites, but you're on a budget, look no further than the region's multitude of ghostly plantations. There are literally hundreds of these old estates spanning across the islands although some, such as the Lopinot Plantation in Trinidad, have acquired a special reputation. These plantations were often the sites of excessive cruelty towards slaves and, in some cases, even murder. If you're not thrilled at the idea of visiting one of those on a gloomy, overcast day, why not try your luck at one of Caribbean's spooky lighthouses? The very nature of the building, with its dead-of-night isolation, lends itself to stories of nightly visitations and strange occurrences. Could you imagine spending a night alone, out in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but the haunting sounds of the surrounding darkness to keep you company? It easy to understand why the Caribbean is a 'must see' for anyone interested in paranormal phenomenon. But, with so many choice destinations, how's a paranormal enthusiast to decide where to go? Well the first thing would be to consult this eBook for nine of the best attractions the haunted Caribbean has to offer. This is by no means an exhaustive list and each Caribbean island has its own legends and areas of interest. The sites being presented to you are simply some of the most well known, and most active, haunted locations. Let's get started, shall we?

Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places
Author: Brad Steiger
Publisher: Visible Ink Press
ISBN: 1578594227
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 831
Book Description
A frightening collection of true ghost stories, which will turn skeptics and nonbelievers into people who sleep with one eye open! Ancient philosophers suggested that the appearance of spirits is evidence that we are part of a larger community of intelligences, a universe of interrelated species, both physical and nonphysical. Master ghost hunter and best-selling author Brad Steiger invites you to join him as he explores the many dark and nightmarish pathways leading to this shadowy world of spirits and hauntings. Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places is the defining work on spirit phenomena. It is a comprehensive classification of the spirit world touching on every possibility from time travel to parallel universes, presenting the full range of ghostly manifestations and haunted locations. A major work sure to be heralded by paranormal enthusiasts (whatever their corporeal state). Do you know the difference between poltergeists and spirits of the dead? The differences between spirits residue, spirit parasites and spirit masqueraders? With its 30 topical chapters, Real Ghosts, covers those differences and many more: Spirits Seen at Death Beds and Funerals Haunted Churches, Cemeteries, and Burial Grounds Phantoms on Roads and Highways Battlefields Where Phantom Armies Eternally Wage War Speaking to Spirits: The Mystery of Mediumship Animal Ghosts—Domesticated and Wild Spirit Parasites That Possessed Apparitions of Religious Figures Haunted Hotels, Motels, and Inns Did you know that ghosts still haunt Ohio’s State Reformatory, otherwise known as Shawshank? Or that the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is home to some of the most famous ghosts in the world? With Real Ghosts, you’ll discover that Abe Lincoln regularly consulted “spooks” and mediums, Rudolph Valentino haunts his old mansion, and the ghosts of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, Katharine Howard, Jane Seymour, Elizabeth I, and King George III all still haunt some of England’s most famous castles. You’ll also learn how to perform a cleansing ritual to rid your home of unwanted spectral visitors. More than a collection of true ghost stories, this book plunks you square into the middle of the eerie action with captivating stories that would be at home at any midnight campfire. The only difference is these stories aren't urban legends employing hooks, needles, or long, metal fingernails for their scare. These stories exist outside of the mind and live right next door to every one of us. Real Ghosts shouldn't be read when you are home alone and the lights begin to flicker!
