A race against time to unravel dark secrets and confront vengeful spirits… In these five stories of haunted houses and restless ghosts, everyday heroes dig deep to find the strength and courage to face the past, for the sake of a better future. THE HAUNTING OF TRUSCOTT HOUSE A house with a dark secret. A grieving daughter determined to carry out her parents’ last wishes. A grandmother with something to hide… Chloe Thomas brushes aside her grandmother’s pleas that she stay away from Truscott House, and moves in with her friend Emily to finish the project her parents had begun before their death—the renovation of a property that had been in the family for a century. It isn’t long before Chloe has to admit that something doesn’t seem want them there—but who? Or what? And why? THE HAUNTING OF ARMITAGE HOUSE Little Isabella Burnside is fading away, and no matter how many specialists her mother takes her to, they can’t pinpoint the problem. Her twin brother, Jack—once open and gregarious—can now barely communicate. Isabella’s father, desperate to help his children, calls in Lincoln Sweeney and his partner Katie Dyer, paranormal investigators, to see if there is any basis to his children’s nightmares. Then Lincoln disappears, and his twin, Tara, knows immediately that something unspeakable has happened to him. Where is Lincoln? Is he on this plane, or the next? Has a vengeful ghost condemned him to a fate worse than death? THE HAUNTING OF WYATT HOUSE Jodie Wyatt is missing. Nick, her husband and a police detective, is convinced that her disappearance is payback from a criminal he’s put away. His son Josh knows differently. He has always been able to see and hear those on the other side, and he is certain that a malevolent spirit inhabits Wyatt House. But how can he convince his father?

Centuries of ownership by a family of doctors with a chequered past A little girl who is too scared to come to lessons in a converted stable… What secrets does Knott Cottage hold? Carla Sinclair jumps at the chance to sell her soulless modern home and buy Knott cottage. But Carla is not in the cottage for more than a day when things start going wrong. Someone—or something—seems to be averse to her delving into the past. When one of her students is too terrified to return to her lessons, Carla knows something must be done. But what? How can she stop the interference in her life from a force she can’t see? THE HAUNTING OF MORETON MANOR It started as a joke: a couple of backpackers upload a YouTube video about their stay in a supposedly haunted house… But then, someone spots a strange column of light that has been picked up by the camera, and things quickly go from bad to worse. Amy’s and Dylan’s friends share the video… and it goes viral. As the days go on, and the ghost becomes more vengeful, Amy’s fear grows. She wants to leave, but with millions of eyes on his nightly YouTube updates, Dylan is certain that this will make his career. He’s staying, no matter what….

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, an American teen recounts the strange events that occur after she moves into a new—and very haunted—home with her family in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced. Letters, photographs, and a journal…all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. Following her parents’ high-profile divorce, Paige and her brother are forced to move to Idaho with their mother, and Paige doesn’t have very high hopes for her new life. The small town they’ve moved to is nothing compared to the life she left behind in LA. And the situation is made even worse by the drafty old mansion they’ve rented that’s filled with spiders and plenty of other pests that Paige can’t even bear to imagine. Pretty soon, strange things start to happen around the house—one can of ravioli becomes a dozen, unreadable words start appearing on the walls, and Paige’s little brother begins roaming the house late at night. And there’s something not right about the downstairs neighbor who seems to know a lot more than he’s letting on. Things only get creepier when she learns about the cult that conducted experimental rituals in the house almost one hundred years earlier. The more Paige investigates, the clearer it all becomes: there’s something in the house, and whatever it is…and it won’t be backing down without a fight.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of American Horror Story and The Craft, a young girl discovers a magical spell book and dives headfirst into the occult—but this powerful book comes with a dangerous warning: OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK. All Melanie wants is a blank book to keep a journal of her private thoughts. One day while browsing in a used bookshop, she finds the perfect blank book—smooth black leather with strange symbols in gold embossing. But once she gets home, Melanie finds herself too intimidated by the heavy vellum pages to write her trivial thoughts on them. Her Wiccan friend Lara tells her it’s better suited to be a magical spell book, called The Book of Shadows. Melanie doesn’t know much about that stuff, but Lara, her boyfriend Caleb, and his friend Lucas, get her started by writing their own made up spells inside the book’s tempting pages. What they didn’t expect was a new spell showing up inside the book—and in handwriting none of them recognize. Soon they discover that the spells suggested by The Book of Shadows itself do work—but not without wreaking havoc on the lives of the four teenagers.

Corporate bullying at a top TV network saw her fired and forced to leave London, but she was determined to get her life back. A new job and a few therapists later, things look much brighter.

Rarest of all, she'll get to examine his elaborate displays of posed, costumed and preserved animals, depicting bloody scenes from the Great War. Catherine can't believe her luck when Mason's elderly niece invites her to stay at Red House itself, where she maintains the collection until his niece exposes her to the dark message behind her uncle's "Art." Catherine tries to concentrate on the job, but Mason's damaged visions begin to raise dark shadows from her own past. Shadows she'd hoped therapy had finally erased. Soon the barriers between reality, sanity and memory start to merge and some truths seem too terrible to be real... in The House of Small Shadows by Adam Nevill.

A dark imagination, a sinister smile--always on the outside of the group. Some part of you suspected he might be capable of doing something awful. Twenty-five years ago, Crabtree did just that, committing a murder so shocking that it’s attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat. Paul Adams remembers the case all too well: Crabtree--and his victim--were Paul’s friends. Paul has slowly put his life back together. But now his mother, old and suffering from dementia, has taken a turn for the worse. Though every inch of him resists, it is time to come home. It's not long before things start to go wrong.

And someone is following him. Which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago. It wasn't just the murder. It was the fact that afterward, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again...

The stranger's compassion becomes a catalyst for change. The maleficent force weakens, and the spirits of the mansion manifest before him, seeking solace and freedom. With tears in his eyes, the stranger offers forgiveness and release, ensuring that the spirits find peace at last. Having embraced his own vulnerability, the stranger willingly sacrifices himself to break the curse and release the spirits from their eternal anguish.

Download or read book War and Shadows written by Mai Lan Gustafsson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnamese culture and religious traditions place the utmost importance on dying well: in old age, body unblemished, with surviving children, and properly buried and mourned. More than five million people were killed in the Vietnam War, many of them young, many of them dying far from home. Another 300,000 are still missing. Having died badly, they are thought to have become angry ghosts, doomed to spend eternity in a kind of spirit hell. Decades after the war ended, many survivors believe that the spirits of those dead and missing have returned to haunt their loved ones. In War and Shadows, the anthropologist Mai Lan Gustafsson tells the story of the anger of these spirits and the torments of their kin. Gustafsson's rich ethnographic research allows her to bring readers into the world of spirit possession, focusing on the source of the pain, the physical and mental anguish the spirits bring, and various attempts to ameliorate their anger through ritual offerings and the intervention of mediums. Through a series of personal life histories, she chronicles the variety of ailments brought about by the spirits' wrath, from headaches and aching limbs (often the same limb lost by a loved one in battle) to self-mutilation. In Gustafsson's view, the Communist suppression of spirit-based religion after the fall of Saigon has intensified anxieties about the well-being of the spirit world. While shrines and mourning are still allowed, spirit mediums were outlawed and driven underground, along with many of the other practices that might have provided some comfort. Despite these restrictions, she finds, victims of these hauntings do as much as possible to try to lay their ghosts to rest.
