Publisher's Synopsis
Ghosts and Spirits explores the mysterious world of the afterlife, including types of ghostly phenomena, tales of hauntings and eerie experiences, and the history of spiritualism. In-depth encyclopaedic entries cover everything from Borley Rectory, once dubbed the most haunted house in England, to phantom Roman soldiers marching through York; from the Fox sisters, famous 19th-century mediums who sparked the modern spiritualism movement, to the Bloxham tapes, which supposedly offered proof of past lives. Thoroughly researched and written by experts, this fascinating new book is a balanced, reliable and authoritative resource, as well as being an enjoyable and engrossing read.
Drawing on Chambers Dictionary of the Unexplained, and including a wealth of new material, Ghosts and Spirits is an absorbing and invaluable guide for anyone interested in the possibility of an existence beyond death.
