COMPLETE BOOK OF GHOSTS & POLTERGEISTS

From the editor: This is Dr. Ashley's latest his respected series on the occult and supernatural. In this volume Dr. Ashley again proves that there are no reaches of darkness, no territories of the unknown, no hidden sources that he will not delve into for raw information. Unsatisfied with merely rehashing ghost stories that most readers are familiar with, Dr. Ashley includes obscure tales that only the most serious of occult scholars will have seen before.

However, this book does not confine itself to frightening tales collected from mysterious texts. Dr. Ashley adds his own insights and theories concerning the ghosts of the departed as well as their wants and actions here in the world of the living. Also included are legends gathered from around the globe (ever want to know how the ancient Romans dealt with an unwanted haunt?). Dr. Ashley even goes so far as to tell you how to become a ghost yourself. Furthermore, he explores the manner in which pop culture has embraced the concept of ghosts and poltergeists and has included numerous lists of books and movies related to the subject.

Citing ghost stories dating as far back as the Old Testament, continuing through the birth of Spiritualism in the 1800s, and reaching to modern times and beyond, this volume is unlimited in scope. Each culture has interacted with and experienced the existence of ghosts in a different manner. Dr. Ashley gives a comprehensive analysis of these varying cultural beliefs, actions and events.

Written in a fashion that is both academic and reader friendly this is a book that will edify as well as terrify.
