Description
“From Hans Holzer, an internationally known expert in the field of the paranormal, here is a chilling collection of true ghost stories. Two books in one, this volume combines Holzer's Yankee Ghosts and Ghosts of New England, each describing spine-tingling encounters with spirits in some of New England's most eerie haunts” --
Ghosts of New England is a collection of true ghost stories, incursions from the World Beyond witnessed or reliably reported by those who were there when they happened. These accounts of true hauntings are the results of the work of one of the world’s leading investigators of the paranormal, Professor Hans Holzer, Ph.D. Found only in his books, these are the real ghost stories of New England. From the lonely plains of rural Maine to the busy countryside of Connecticut, from the old city of Boston to New Hampshire’s pristine precincts, there were and are ghosts—and people continue to experience hauntings by those who have not quite gone on to the next world. Ghosts are not figments of the imagination nor monsters from a Hollywood movie, says Professor Holzer: there, but for the Grace of God, goes one of us, being who happens to be caught up in the emotional turmoil originating at the time of passing over. Ghosts don’t harm people, nor do they scare those who understand that they are just unhappy human beings who mean no harm and are desperate only to assert their continued existence in the World Beyond—“so far and yet so near,” as the late Eileen Garrett, the great trance medium, put it. New England is perhaps more prone to take its ghosts seriously than any other region of America, because the natural environment there tends to stimulate a sense of “other-worldliness,” especially in the fall and the spring. New England ghosts, as well as those haunting New York—whose tales are also featured in this collection—tend to be a little bit better educated than the average specter, which should make the reader’s encounters with these spirits in Ghosts of New England both a fascinating and highly educational experience --
