Synopsis

In these pages Professor Hans Holzer documents more than 50 locations where he has personally investigated ghosts, often with the assistance of a psychic. Complete with photos and details about each spectral phenomenon as well as the stories of the ghosts themselves, this book tells who they were and why they are found in each location.

About this title

Review

Another book from the "original ghost hunter." Collected from his personal investigations rather than legends or urban mythology, Holzer takes us to private houses and publicly accessible places where ghosts have recently manifested themselves. Most of the houses Holzer has investigated are in the United States, but he includes several spots in Europe. This is certainly not a book of ghost stories, but a case by case study of hauntings and, perhaps more importantly, a guide book for those who want to experience something supernatural.

About the Author

Hans Holzer (1920–2009) was born and raised in Vienna, Austria, before moving to the United States. He became fascinated by the supernatural at an early age through the stories his uncle told him. His research took him to haunted houses all over the world, including the notorious Long Island house that inspired the film The Amityville Horror. After earning a master’s degree in comparative religion and a doctorate in parapsychology at the London College of Applied Science, he went on to teach parapsychology at the New York Institute of Technology. He was a Wiccan high priest as well as a vegan. Known as “the Father of the Paranormal,” he wrote over 140 books on psychic phenomena, including Ghost Hunter, America’s Restless Ghosts, Ghosts I’ve Met, and Life Beyond. He wrote, produced, and appeared in a number of television documentaries, including NBC’s In Search Of. . . . He lived in New York City.
