Book excerpt: “A haunting story about the long reach of the past.”—Maureen Corrigan, NPR’S Fresh Air “In this intriguing book, [Nordhaus] shares her journey to discover who her immigrant ancestor really was—and what strange alchemy made the idea of her linger long after she was gone.” —People La Posada—“place of rest”—was once a grand Santa Fe mansion. It belonged to Abraham and Julia Staab, who emigrated from Germany in the mid-nineteenth century. After they died, the house became a hotel. And in the 1970s, the hotel acquired a resident ghost—a sad, dark-eyed woman in a long gown. Strange things began to happen there: vases moved, glasses flew, blankets were ripped from beds. Julia Staab died in 1896—but her ghost, they say, lives on. In American Ghost, Julia’s great-great-granddaughter, Hannah Nordhaus, traces her ancestor’s transfiguration from nineteenth-century Jewish bride to modern phantom. Family diaries, photographs, and newspaper clippings take her on a riveting journey through three hundred years of German history and the American immigrant experience. With the help of historians, genealogists, family members, and ghost hunters, she weaves a masterful, moving story of fin-de-siècle Europe and pioneer life, villains and visionaries, medicine and spiritualism, imagination and truth, exploring how lives become legends, and what those legends tell us about who we are.

Traveling thousands of miles in search of uniquely American ghosts, their quest took them to an asylum whose former inmates are said to speak from beyond the grave; a jail with ties to a nearby house with a very dark reputation; the hallowed ground of one of the Civil War's most fearsome battles; and a house believed to be haunted by the spirit of a little girl, who may be something entirely more sinister... Join Richard Estep (TV's "Haunted Hospitals" and "Paranormal 911") and his intrepid band on their odyssey to encounter things that go bump in the night. THE GREAT AMERICAN GHOST TRIP

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native American folklore and mythology is rich with mystery and wisdom, and spiritually sacred stories echo through the centuries in the lives of indigenous North Americans. Many of these stories deal with crossing over between the world of the living to that of the dead-and back. Others feature animals or objects with supernatural powers, or ancestors that help guide or rescue souls lost in their own struggles for survival against the elements: A fearless Brule Sioux warrior encounters four ghosts determined to scare the wits out of him, but he turns the tables on them-and then encounters something even scarier than ghosts, the spirits of a Cherokee woman and her husband taunt the soul of their murderer for decades, Heavy Collar encounters a strange, frightening force that follows him home from a hunting trip and causes havoc in his Blackfoot camp, a young Assiniboine bride-to-be rides a great white stallion to avoid being killed in a Sioux raid; the supernatural spirit horse is seen riding the plains for centuries after, two Cheyenne children are chased across impossible stretches of territory by the rolling head of their murdered mother, Good Son tries to save his Navajo brother, the mischievious Bad Son, from the evil Spider Woman, but fails to fool her, the Phantom Horses of Palo Duro Canyon come to life for a young boy traveling with his Kiowa grandfather, a man and wife help a dead Sioux girl return to life, and she devotes the rest of her days to healing the sick... From cultures stretching back thousands of years to the earliest habitations on the continent, come mysterious, eerie tales that continue to resonate today. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories by Women written by Marie O'Regan and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 25 chilling short stories by outstanding female writers. Women have always written exceptional stories of horror and the supernatural. This anthology aims to showcase the very best of these, from Amelia B. Edwards's 'The Phantom Coach', published in 1864, through past luminaries such as Edith Wharton and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, to modern talents including Muriel Gray, Sarah Pinborough and Lilith Saintcrow. From tales of ghostly children to visitations by departed loved ones, and from heart-rending stories to the profoundly unsettling depiction of extreme malevolence, what each of these stories has in common is the effect of a slight chilling of the skin, a feeling of something not quite present, but nevertheless there. If anything, this showcase anthology proves that sometimes the female of the species can also be the most terrifying . . .

Book excerpt: Twenty-five real-life tales of hauntings and ghostly encounters across America, by the author of Houses of Horror and Ghost Hunter’s Strangest Cases. Hans Holzers Real Hauntings continues his account of true, authenticated case histories of haunting throughout the United States. From the restless shade of a sea captain on Cape Cod, to the remorseful parishioner at St. Mark’s in New York City who is unable to forget her extramarital affair, to the little girl ghost of Landsdowne, Pennsylvania, who can’t quite understand what happened to her world, Real Hauntings chronicles the fascinating and dramatic accounts of the true experiences that ordinary people have had with the world beyond our own. New Hampshire, Virginia, California, Louisiana, Minnesota—ghostly encounters can occur anywhere and to anyone. Among the many remarkable encounters in Real Hauntings is the story about the ghost of a young girl killed during a wild party in Hollywood; the testimony of tenants at an eighteen-century carriage house in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen regarding the several ghosts they have encountered; and the account of the piano-playing phantom in an old house in Arkansas. In all, twenty-five true, witnessed accounts are reported here by Dr. Hans Holzer.
