Spooked Solid
Happy Halloween!Welcome to the best holiday of the year.Or I thought it was until the tricks began to outweigh the treats. Frog curses, poisoned candy apples, and a wayward vampire are only the half of it. Add in a two-hundred-year-old curse, a depressed poltergeist, and a dead body, and you can see why my enthusiasm for the witchiest day of the year is waning. Not cool, Halloween Hijacker. Not cool.Which is why you can bet your wand I'm not going to go down without a fight, even if my actions land me in grave danger.
The Ghost Of Guir House
American author Charles Willing Beale's horror book The Ghost of Guir House was first released in 1897. This is a pretty erratic "story" that alternates between a theosophical philosophy explanation and a gothic romance. A captivating romantic plot is balanced by a sense of mystery and possibly even evil, and there are three main characters that are really well-developed despite being slightly quirky. The plot is kept alive by the author until the very end of the book, but it is shelved by protracted discussions on occult concepts like hypnotism and emanationist between two of the characters. The book starts out as a respectable ghost story before turning into a societal critique that extols the virtues of socialism. Charles Willing Beale wrote a gritty mystery romance titled The Ghost of Guir House. But instead of writing in the traditional Gothic style, the author explores moral, psychological, and then theosophical considerations. Long conversations between the three people in the book-who are encased in a spooky house-include the author's thoughts.

It has an intellectual quality that is quite reminiscent of The Turn of the Screw." - Nashville Banner"Entirely worth the reading. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, Calder-Marshall has concocted so convincing a one you will willingly suspend your disbelief." - Boston Globe

Half Dead! Half Alive! Rejected! Entry Denied!

The Haunting of Thornham Staithe
A series of hauntings in a Norfolk town, apparently unrelated, attract little attention until the first death occurs. Even then, it is difficult to link the death, which has not been witnessed by any of the townspeople, to the hauntings in any sensible way. Life goes on until further deaths occur, once again unwitnessed. No one is ready to commit themselves to a point of view and, therefore, a plan of action, because no one wants to be seen to believe in ghosts. Eventually, after the publican's psychic supper has created terror in the medium, two ghost hunters (who prefer to call themselves 'paranormal investigators') are called in by the vicar and events take a turn for the worst: several villagers are threatened, a stranger plays his hand with disastrous consequences, the doctor's wife returns from the dead and the village historian (perhaps the only person who has any chance of understanding the connection between the hauntings) is driven to the edge of sanity. The vicar, who has been a central figure all along, decides he must act with or without his bishop's permission or even his wife's agreement, and decides to call upon the help of an old priest, once the Deliverance Minister of his diocese.

Gold, Ghosts, and Woolly’s
Gold, Ghosts and Woollys is a fictional work, conceived solely for the entertainment of the reader. The story unfolds, to the sheer delight, of a child with a vivid imagination before the age of radio, T.V., telephones, cellphones, and computers. Household electricity was still in the future. Entertainment was tall tale telling.Such was my life, raised by grandparents, about to start school in 1948, a long way from town and all its conveniences. In that long ago age, people still talked to one another. Old folks could still talk to kids - and kids, could still talk to adults. In that long ago age where, God, family, country, and compassion for our fellow man, governed our lives. What affected one, affected all. The isolation of today was unknown back then. Self-reliance and reliance on our fellowman was expected and accepted. Gold Ghosts and Woollys is a fictional portrayal of a time lost in this modern world. My heartfelt hope is that the reader of this tall tale enjoys the view of the world, now lost in today's insanity, posed as progress.

Nadderwater Rise Ghost
The case at Nadderwater Rise Boilermakers left an enduring impression upon me. The Professor and I witnessed first-hand how machines can turn on their masters. When directed by a malevolent force, the results were utterly brutal. As if horrid conditions are not enough, the culture of harassment ingrained into the workers only makes it worse. Their daily lives are already drenched in danger, subject to severe injury without notice, yet they persist in tormenting each other, to their peril. This is the eighth book in the Paranormology Series.

Indian Ghost Stories
In for a thrilling experience? A collection of twelve stories about the supernatural. In reality, these aren't strictly twelve stories. Firstly, they are supposedly true stories, and not meant to be fictitious (since the author clearly mentions that so-and-so anecdote came to him by way of this gentleman or that, the veracity of each story may be questioned). Secondly, these aren't just twelve anecdotes, but more-since the author begins a story with an anecdote, finishes it, and then goes on to related anecdotes. HIS DEAD WIFE'S PHOTOGRAPH, THE MAJOR'S LEASE, THE OPEN DOOR, WHAT UNCLE SAW, THE BOY WHO WAS CAUGHT, THE STARVING MILLIONAIRE, THE BRIDAL PARTY, A STRANGE INCIDENT, WHAT THE PROFESSOR SAW, THE BOY POSSESSED, THE EXAMINATION PAPER, THE MESSENGER OF DEATH Name the setting and you have it!
