Book Overview
Skeletal remains rotting behind cellar walls, temple priests removing brains with iron hooks, phantom locomotives roaring across midnight plains--Brian Righi isn't making this stuff up. The ghost stories he finds in history are far more chilling than any Hollywood horror scene. Join the seasoned paranormal investigator on a tour through mankind's millennium-old obsession with death and the afterlife. Ghosts, Apparitions and Poltergeists surveys 4,000 years of hauntings and ghost huntings--from the embalming rituals of ancient Egypt to the Ouija boards and s ances of nineteenth century Spiritualism--highlighting a few outlandish tales and colorful characters along the way. Once you've learned the history, launch a paranormal investigation of your own with Righi's guide to modern ghost hunting, full of detailed advice culled from his seven years of experience in the field.

Awesome Ghost Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Once I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. The author includes everything from the history of ghosts, to authentic case studies, to even how to hunt ghosts. I hope he writes more soon I cannot wait to read them.
Awesome!

Awesome book! Well told, and has excellent stories and cases. Sad it didn't give more. They were enjoyable. I a psychic, but I not like others. I do not claim to know all, nor seek attention. I rather stay away from such things, keep to my self. I do not take sides of Ghost Hunters and such psychics that have ego needs for false knowledge, pride, greed, and fame. I do not have no need for beleifs, just what is or not real. Both sides need to work as one, and both need to lose the ego.
