Mahala avatar reviewed on + 192 more book reviews


Everyone has heard ghost stories in the course of his or her life. Although some people are true believers, many others are skeptical of such dark and unearthly tales. In Hauntings!: Real-Life Encounters with Troubled Spirits, parapsychologist Dr. Hazel Denning offers a believable way of looking at these inexplicable visitors, providing irrefutable evidence to support the occurrence of paranormal phenomena. The book doesn't just tell stories of haunted houses, channeling, psychic attacks, possession, and witchcraftit tells them from the tormented, earthbound spirits' points of view!

Read about:

A French architect, executed in the 1600s, who possessed a normally cheerful woman and caused her to have violent outbursts

Edmund, who killed his sister's fiance and remained in his family's red-brick mansion for thirty years after his physical death

A boy in Los Angeles who was struck with uncontrollable fits of demonic rage

A woman who experienced a nearly fatal illness because doctors could not diagnose her mysterious abdominal pains
