Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I let the fear aside, I faced the ghosts that I loaded for many years, I got brave going over the major and complicated passages of my life from childhood until my first experiences of encounters with older age, I wanted to transfer to paper everything that brought me back memories, before my eyes get tired more than are now and before my memory refuses to remember and my conscience distorts the reality. In these pages is no intention of any teaching, I personally learned from my own stories, of my own achievements and failures but it was also necessary to mix my memories with experience over the years that life has given me. Obviously there are situations that I would not repeat and others that I would like to have the opportunity to return to the past to remedy them, as it is impossible to do one or the other I should accept my past as it is and without regrets. Passages that I rescued and snatch not exempt of consequences from the depths of my heart and conscience, passages that I wanted and promised a day to forget, what obviously I did not, perhaps for good. Not everything on these pages is full of joy or total sadness, it is simply life. Thanks to those who are and also, were part of my memories and experiences. Writing those passages I wanted to also involve my wife and my children, mainly in gratitude for all the happiness, help, understanding, passion and tolerance that I have received from them. For my own sanity I have been cautious not to distort reality, I only mixed objectivity with some touches of fantasy by the simple fact of protecting people who were and are close to me, to avoid running over to those who cannot defend themselves and they will never know that they are part of a story, my story. They will have to respond or be answered, each one according to their own actions, I have not tried to judge or be judged either accuser or accused. My intention has been to just remember and stamping my comments for the moment lived, stage by stage with the mentality of the passing of the years. Evidently not everything regarding my life is here, it would have been tedious, slow and tiring adventures to write and full of secrets that I would have not wanted to share. I do not seek advice on what I should have done or I should stop doing nor giving advice to any of the people named here, the reason why these pages do not contain proper names with the exception of a couple of them. We are all loaded up with secrets and sins and facing them is the true value of life. Forgiveness, when it exists, must be sincere and without conditions. I hope, a day be forgiven by those with whom I acted unjustly.

Book excerpt: ...... perhaps I never sensed everything that we had really lost because we always looked around us, there were many who had lost more than us, there were many who had lost everything and others who had lost nothing but were no longer among us ...... my head was spinning again, I felt a very strong knock at the back of my head, again lights spun incessantly around me and the tires squeal against the pavement but now with a smell very strange, a warm smell of rubber and blood. Minutes, seconds or fractions of seconds, I don't know, it seemed an eternity and from one moment to another everything was calm, just the smell was still in the air .....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes thirty-five stories about not being afraid of ghosts, which are taken from ancient Chinese collections of tales and anecdotes. They show the adroitness and courage of Chinese people in ancient times who dared to defy ghosts. Today, everyone knows there are no such things as ghosts. But while there are no demons like those described in these tales, there are many things which resemble them -- imperialism, reactionaries, difficulties and obstacles in work, for example. These stories, therefore, may be considered in the nature of allegories and satires.

In a world where sorcery is illegal, someone is murdering young women in ways that defy all reason—and all detection. Only one man knows how to track such an untraceable killer, a man called to deliver justice by an onslaught of ghosts in the snow. For Dubric Bryerly, head of security at Castle Faldorrah, saving lives has become a matter of saving his sanity. A silent killer is afoot, savagely mutilating servant girls and leaving behind no clues and no witnesses—except the gruesome ghosts of the victims. Ghosts that only Dubric can see. Caught in the eye of the grisly storm is Nella, a linen maid working to free herself from a dark past—if she can survive an invisible killer’ s rampage. But with the death toll rising and Nella under the protective wing of a man who may be a prime suspect, Dubric must resort to unconventional methods. With the future of Faldorrah and countless lives at stake, including his own, he can’t afford to be wrong. And if he’s right, the entire kingdom could be thrust into war.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2015 BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN A NOVEL A chilling thriller that brilliantly blends psychological suspense and supernatural horror, reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, and William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist. The lives of the Barretts, a normal suburban New England family, are torn apart when fourteen-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia. To her parents’ despair, the doctors are unable to stop Marjorie’s descent into madness. As their stable home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help. Father Wanderly suggests an exorcism; he believes the vulnerable teenager is the victim of demonic possession. He also contacts a production company that is eager to document the Barretts’ plight. With John, Marjorie’s father, out of work for more than a year and the medical bills looming, the family agrees to be filmed, and soon find themselves the unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality television show. When events in the Barrett household explode in tragedy, the show and the shocking incidents it captures become the stuff of urban legend. Fifteen years later, a bestselling writer interviews Marjorie’s younger sister, Merry. As she recalls those long ago events that took place when she was just eight years old, long-buried secrets and painful memories that clash with what was broadcast on television begin to surface—and a mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed, raising vexing questions about memory and reality, science and religion, and the very nature of evil.

Download or read book Houses of Horror written by Hans Holzer and published by Union Square + ORM. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed ghost hunter and author of Real Hauntings shares real-life stories of hauntings from across America. ”Have you ever come home and wondered what might be lurking up the stairs, in the dark of the corridor where the lights don’t reach and the soft footfalls of the visitor disappear into the thick carpet?” For more than five decades, Hans Holzer has been delving into disturbances from The Other Side. This Vienna-born researcher, the man they call “The Ghost Hunter,” has devoted much of his adult life to tracking those phantom presences that emerge from the shadows when least expected. Whether we call these spectral personages, “ghosts” or “spirits” or “left behinds,” they hover among us, defying easy explanation or dismissal. No one in America has researched these ghostly beings more assiduously or skillfully than Holzer. Indeed, he has been lauded as the most published paranormal investigator of the past century. This collection contains some of his most famous and controversial cases. Houses of Horror takes us deep into history both known and obscure; we encounter accused traitor Aaron Burr and experience the postmortem rustlings of colonial spies. In New Hampshire, a nineteenth century admiral makes things go bump in the night; a girl ghost playfully leaves surprise gifts in an old Kentucky home; and in Illinois, a suicide moves restlessly from room to room. Holzer’s explorations in the seemingly unexplainable have taken him far afield. He ventures down dark corridors in eerie New England mansions and sprawling Southern homes. His ghostly quarry surfaces in Minnesota, the rural Midwest heartland; even in Hollywood and on a moving Swiss train. Ever observant, patiently curious, Holzer jots down the cases and then moves on. This rich collection of hauntings can be read as an extended glimpse into the life beyond life; the realm of the unknown.

More than a collection of true ghost stories, this book plunks you square into the middle of the eerie action with captivating stories that would be at home at any midnight campfire. The only difference is these stories aren't urban legends employing hooks, needles, or long, metal fingernails for their scare.

Download or read book Function and Analysis of the Ghosts in Turn of the Screw by Henry James written by Katrin Zielina and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2+ (B), University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institute for England und American Studies), course: Introduction to Literature Studies, 7 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Henry James′s "The Turn Of The Screw" has been often interpreted since it was first published in 1898. There are a lot of hints in the story, but those hints are rarely stated directly. So the difficulty in reading and judging the story in one certain way makes it even more challenging to read. Until today critics have not come to an agreement whether Miles and Flora or only the governess are haunted by the ghosts. So one might pose the question "When do critics ever share the same opinion?". After all there are always different people with different opinions who read one and the same story completely different at all. But nevertheless every author has a certain intention, the purpose to convey a message by writing the story down. Possibly the openness to various interpretations is the point of the novel. Basically this is what every reader should have in mind. Many questions move critics concerning "The Turn Of The Screw", e. g. "What does the governess really see while her encounters with those apparitions?", "How can she describe the dead Peter Quint that detailed without ever having seen him before?" and -most essentially- "How did Miles come to death in the end?". Every question itself is interesting enough, but I find the question most exciting, what the ghosts represent if they are no real supernatural apparitions. It seems to be clear that only the governess is able to see the ghosts. As far as I remember there is no single hint that is evidenced clearly in the whole story that Mrs. Grose or the children are also able to recognize the ghosts. So possibly only the governess is haunted by the apparitions for reasons that have to be analyzed more deeply.
