Excerpt from Real Ghost Stories: Revised Reprint of the Christmas and New Year's Numbers of the "Review of Reviews" 1891-2
OF all the vulgar superstitions of the half educated, none dies harder than the absurd delusion that there is no such thing as ghosts. All the experts, whether spiritual, poeti cal, or scientific, and all the others, non-experts, who have bestowed any serious attention upon the subject, know that they do exist. But in face of the practically unanimous testi mony of experience and authority, the majority of those who take up this book will do so believing that it's all nonsense.
There is endless variety of opinion as to what a ghost may be. But as to the fact of its existence, whatever it may be, there is no longer any serious dispute among honest investi gators. If any one questions this, let him investigate for him self. In six months, possibly in six weeks, or even in six days, he will find it impossible to deny the reality of the existence of the phenomena popularly entitled ghostly. He may have a hundred ingenious explanations of the origin and nature of the ghost, but as to the existence of the entity itself there will no longer be any doubt.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of the supernatural, exploring the idea that each individual harbors an unseen, dormant "ghost" within. The author presents the latest scientific and spiritualist theories, suggesting the existence of an "Unconscious Personality" dwelling alongside our conscious selves. This hidden aspect of our being, the author claims, manifests in telepathy, clairvoyance, and premonitions. The book examines historical and contemporary accounts of hauntings, ghosts of the living, and out-of-body experiences, seeking to rationalize these phenomena within the framework of a dualistic human nature. Ultimately, the book challenges traditional materialism and encourages readers to embrace the possibility of a richer, more interconnected reality beyond the confines of our physical senses. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
