Untraceable whispering voices.Gnome-like spirits who walk through walls.A room that glows with an eerie, life-draining light.Disembodied footsteps that climb stairs but never descend.A house with doors that open by themselves-even when locked.After a period of strong skepticism among writers and intellects regarding the reality of ghosts, the Victorian era (1837-1901) revitalized interest in seriously exploring houses and other locations alleged to be haunted. The paranormal investigators, including Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, chronicled their methods and discoveries. Equipped with little more than candles, patience, and perhaps a flask of brandy, these men and women laid a foundation for the ghost hunters of today.The Victorian Ghost Hunter's Casebook presents some of the most intriguing, most frightening, and most charming of the chronicles left behind. Ghostlore scholar Tim Prasil provides an Introduction about what motivated the Victorians to investigate spectral manifestations, along with the history of ghost hunters that preceded them. He also provides enlightening details on twelve ghostly cases located in Britain, and an Appendix with two more ghost hunts held in the United States during the Victorian era.

Following a formative childhood meeting with the soul of her recently deceased grandmother, Natalie Osborne-Thomason's consuming interest has been to research and write about ghosts. As a natural psychic, she is blessed with the gift of being able to deepen this quest beyond the capacities of most ghost hunters, allowing her to sense, perceive and experience what many cannot. Following on from her acclaimed Ghost Hunting Case Book, Psychic Quest features Osborne-Thomason's many personal experiences of ghosts and her own search for answers. Interlaced with autobiographical glimpses, Osborne-Thomason tells of psychic episodes and ghostly encounters, including her meeting with the ghost of Pengersick Castle and the haunting spirit of Woodford church. She also tells of clairvoyant intuitions in Jerusalem, how she prevented a car crash, her opportunity to read the U.S. President's palm, the delights of overnight vigils in musty locations and much more. In her thoughtful conclusion, the author suggests a solution to the mystery of ghosts, and indicates how ghosts might manifest. She also gives a list of ghostly locations for would-be ghost hunters.

Apparitions, Hauntings and Poltergeists - Ghosts - Have Fascinated philosophers and scientists for millennia.

Poltergeist is a kind of paranormal stress relief valve. Dubbed noisy ghosts, poltergeists are actually the manifestation of rage or another intense emotion of an "agent" who is often, but not always, a teenager.
