True Ghost Stories
BY HEREWARD CARRINGTON
The author of this book is well known in both America and Europe as a prominent scientific writer on psychical and occult subjects. He has been a member of both the English and American Societies for Psychical Research for more than fifteen years, has written over a dozen books on the subject, a number of which have been translated into foreign languages including the Japanese and Arabic, and he has lectured in London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Milan, Geneva, Turin, etc., before scientific organizations. His writings are well known and have earned him a high place in psychical circles.
In this book he presents a number of startling cases which he has discovered in his unrivalled investigations of psychical mysteries. They are not the ordinary “ghost stories,” based on pure fiction and having no foundation in reality, but are a collection of incidents all thoroughly investigated and vouched for, the testimony being obtained first hand and corroborated by others.
The first chapter deals with the interesting question What Is a Ghost? and attempts to answer this question in the light of the latest scientific theories which have been advanced to explain these supernatural happenings and visitants.
Other chapters are:
Phantasms of the Dead.More Phantasms.
Haunted Houses.
Ghost Stories of a More Dramatic Order.
Historical Ghosts.
The Phantom Armies Seen in France.
Bibliography.
True Ghost Stories is a book of absorbing interest and cannot fail to grip and hold the attention of every reader, whether he be a student of these questions, or merely in search of hair-raising anecdotes and stories, he will find them here a-plenty.
The book contains 250 pages printed on antique woven book paper, attractively bound in cloth, with illustrated jacket in colors. Price, 75 cents by mail, postpaid.
