Book excerpt: Published for the first time in over a hundred years, Mildred Darby's "The House of Horrors" is her first-hand account of one of the world's most terrifying hauntings. Although written under the pen name of Andrew Merry, with the name of the castle changed from Leap to Kliman Castle and using pseudonyms in order to protect the identity of those involved, all of the incidents dramatized in her narrative are true, having occurred in the Darby's Leap Castle home. With sightings over the centuries of at least nineteen individual ghosts, accounts of the sounds of a phantom battle being heard to play out upon the castle grounds, a banshee and the frighteningly hideous and oppressively foul-smelling Elemental; Leap Castle truly merits its longstanding reputation as "The most Haunted Castle in Ireland." In addition to Mildred Darby's original account, this new edition features a comprehensive Introduction providing relevant historical background as well as first-hand witness accounts attesting to the factual basis of Mildred Darby's account.

Download or read book The World of Lore Dreadful Places written by Aaron Mahnke and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captivating stories of the places where human evil has left a nefarious mark, featuring stories from the podcast Lore—now a streaming television series—including “Echoes,” “Withering Heights,” and “Behind Closed Doors” as well as rare material. Sometimes you walk into a room, a building, or even a town, and you feel it. Something seems off—an atmosphere that leaves you oddly unsettled, with a sense of lingering darkness. Join Aaron Mahnke, the host of the popular podcast Lore, as he explores some of these dreadful places and the history that haunts them. Mahnke takes us to Colorado and the palatial Stanley Hotel, where wealthy guests enjoyed views of the Rocky Mountains at the turn of the twentieth century—and where, decades later, a restless author would awaken from a nightmare, inspired to write one of the most revered horror novels of all time. Mahnke also crosses land and sea to visit frightful sites—from New Orleans to Richmond, Virginia, to the brooding, ancient castles of England—each with its own echoes of dark deeds, horrible tragedies, and shocking evil still resounding. Filled with evocative illustrations, this eerie tour of lurid landmarks and doomed destinations is just the ticket to take armchair travelers with a taste for the macabre to places they never thought they’d visit in their wildest, scariest dreams. The World of Lore series includes: MONSTROUS CREATURES • WICKED MORTALS • DREADFUL PLACES Praise for World of Lore: Dreadful Places “Well-written, rooted in deep historical research, and ridiculously entertaining . . .
