In 1975, under a bed in an old house in Tarrytown, New York, an
unearthly tome entitled Ghostology was discovered, wrapped in a
substance, later found to be ectoplasm. It is the life's work and
study of American ghostologist Lucinda Curtle, who mysteriously
passed to the Other Side during a seance. After her death,
Ghostology seemingly became haunted by the ghost of Lucinda
herself, who now wants to keep the secrets of the dead A SECRET.
Now published, ghostwritten by Dugald Steer, the world itself can
decide if Ghostology - purporting to tell the truth about ghosts -
was solid fact or insubstantial fiction. Delve into the wealth of
information and learn about different types of ghosts, ghosts
around the world and ghost through history; haunted houses, ships
and other objects (including books); the ghostologist's field kit;
psychics and mediums; fakes and frauds; test your ghostological
knowledge on one of Lucinda's own case studies. Complete with a
jewel in the cover, as well as letters, booklets, sealed pages,
flaps, a moving wheel novelty and glow in the dark ink.
