Download or read book Ghosts of Old Louisville written by David Domine and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, is the third-largest National Preservation District in the United States and the largest Victorian-era neighborhood in the country. Beneath the balconies and terraces of the district's Gothic, Queen Anne, and Beaux Arts mansions, current residents trade riveting stories about their historic homes. Many of these tales defy rational explanation. When David Dominé moved into one of these houses, he dismissed local rumors of a resident poltergeist named Lucy. However, before long, unnerving, disembodied footsteps and mysterious odors caused him to flee his home in the middle of the night. Since that night, David Dominé not only embraced the possibility of supernatural phenomenon but also turned it into a popular tour series and best-selling collection of books, which have brought new attention to this iconic neighborhood. The book that launched the guided tours, Ghosts of Old Louisville, introduced readers to the hauntingly beautiful Lady of the Stairs and the Widow Hoag, who waits eternally near Fountain Court for a lost child who will never return. These tales of things that go bump in the night not only reveal why Old Louisville is considered the "most haunted neighborhood in America," but also help to preserve this historically and architecturally significant community.

Buried deep in the Wisconsin Northwoods, the ruined splendor of the mansion known as Summerwind bares the bones of its legendary past. Robert Patterson Lamont purchased the property in 1916 as a country retreat where he could entertain such guests as President Warren G. Harding. Unfortunately, the house played host to visitors of an entirely different sort, and Lamont reportedly fled the property after discharging a pistol at a ghoul in the basement pantry. Raymond Bober abandoned his attempt to convert the house into a hotel in the 1970s, describing rooms that changed size and the mysterious presence of an eighteenth-century explorer in his famous book The Carver Effect. Join Devon Bell for a glimpse through the shattered windows of the most specter-laden spot in the Badger State.

Book excerpt: Black River Falls, Green Bay, Gresham, Iola, New London, Plover, Manitowish Waters...and Madison, where Craig Nehring of the Fox Valley Ghost Hunters experienced a very real debate over the question: Fate or Destiny These are a few of the interesting places that we explore in this, our second Wisconsin's Most Haunted book. Haunted places that you may never heard of, but yet rival those better known locations that we related in our first book such as Summerwind Mansion near Land O'Lakes, First Ward School in Wisconsin Rapids, Von Stiehl's Winery in Algoma and The Grand Opera House in Oshkosh. Most of the spirits are gentle and benevolent souls, but an occasional encounter with a malevolent spirit can be expected as well...like the growling shadow man with deformed legs who frightened the family in their bedrooms at night, claiming "It's my house." What about our canine and feline friends? Can they return to their homes, revealing themselves to their former owners? Evidence is presented that this may, indeed, be possible. So, what do you think? Are you a skeptic or a supporter of reported paranormal activities? No matter; you will still find the stories contained herein to be fascinating accounts--perhaps encounters from a existence beyond our knowledge and experience.
