Book excerpt: Louisa Moore, a wealthy middle-aged widow, sold her home in Mobile, AL, and purchased Seymour Plantation in Spanish Fort, on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay.

After moving into the house, she began to hear strange noises, to find furniture moved, and to catch quick glimpses of a man inside her house. One night she woke up to see the silhouette of a man standing over her. Not one time did her security alarm go off; the man never came through her doors or windows. Louisa began to take the ghost rumors seriously and decided to have a face-to-face encounter with her ghost.

Download or read book The Book of the Damned written by Charles Fort and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.

Book excerpt: On the bloody battlefield of Culloden, the mighty Scottish clans risked everything - and like their kinsmen, the Maclean family was destroyed. Torn apart by betrayal, the three brothers Maclean will learn the price of vengeance . . . and sweet freedom in a woman's love. To inherit the Virginia tobacco plantation where he worked as overseer, Diarmid Maclean had to take a wife immediately. In desperation, he bought a British bond slave as his bride - a fiery Gypsy pickpocket he'd tame into a lady, then free once his inheritance was assumed. Passionate and beautiful, Lucy Graves stole Diarmid's heart and made him forget his vow to keep the marriage chaste - and temporary. But the last time he dared to love an Englishwoman, Diarmid's entire clan paid a terrible price. Now the banished highland warrior must slay the ghosts of his past . . . before his beloved thief is taken from him forever.
