(back cover)
The world is full of strange events and sightings that we find hard to explain. But how many of the stories of ghosts and ghouls are true, and are there really phantoms of nuns haunting abbeys, specters trapped in mirrors, and ghost ships traveling the ocean?
Can we trust our own eyes? Perhaps transparent beings seen and heard in dark old mansions are simply the product of our fertile imaginations.
The Ghost Handbook is for anyone who wants to know more about the eerie ghost world and its inhabitants. From the apparitions that pelt bishops with stones to mischievous servants who torment whole families, you will find out about ghosts from all over the world, each with his or her own particular story.
Whether you have seen a ghost yourself or are just interested in poltergeists and mediums, this little book is packed with facts, tips, and fascinating stories that will open your mind to a whole new world
