'I have stood on the dim shore beyond time and matter and seen it.
It moves through strange curves and outrageous angles. Some day I
shall travel in time and meet it face to face.' Unlike
nineteenth-century Gothic fiction, which tends to fixate on the
past, the haunted and the ghostly, early weird fiction probes the
very boundaries of reality - the laws and limits of time, space and
matter. Here, unimaginable terrors lurk in hitherto unknown mirror
dimensions, calamities in ultra-space threaten to wipe clean all
evidence of our universe and experiments in non-Euclidean geometry
lead to sickening consequences. In twelve speculative tales of our
universe's mathematics and physics gone awry, this new anthology
presents an abundance of curiosities - and terrors - with stories
from Jorge Luis Borges, Miriam Allen deFord, Frank Belknap Long and
Algernon Blackwood.
West Virginia, 1966. For thirteen months the town of Point Pleasant
is gripped by a real-life nightmare culminating in a tragedy that
makes headlines around the world. Strange occurrences and
sightings, including a bizarre winged apparition that becomes known
as the Mothman, trouble this ordinary American community.
Mysterious lights are seen moving across the sky. Domestic animals
are found slaughtered and mutilated. And journalist John Keel,
arriving to investigate the freakish events, soon finds himself an
integral part of an eerie and unfathomable mystery.
After sharing her own story in Haunted, Dorah L. Williams compiles
first-hand accounts of the spiritual encounters of others. Upon
writing Haunted: The Incredible True Story of a Canadian Family’s
Experience Living in a Haunted House, Dorah thought her situation
was unique. What she didn’t realize was how many others would
relate to how it feels to be haunted, too. After being flooded by
emails from people with similar experiences, Dorah began to realize
this wasn’t uncommon at all. It seemed these paranormal
happenings were universal — in all areas, within all age groups,
and among all walks of life. So, Haunted Too came to be. Not only
will it entertain the reader, as good ghost stories always have,
but it will also help the reader to better understand this
phenomenon, with the inclusion of shared experiences, opinions, and
advice of professionals in this field. Whether fear-provoking or
poignant, these collective supernatural encounters are directly
quoted in their own words by those who have experienced them
first-hand, and are enlightening as well as entertaining.
In this book Robert Bard takes readers on a spine-tingling journey
around Kent to some of its most haunted locations. He discovers
tales of ghostly apparitions, unexplained events and paranormal
phenomena. Among the places investigated is Pluckley, which was
named in the 'Guinness Book of Records' as England’s most haunted
village. Its twelve spirits include a screaming man who fell to his
death and a spectral highwayman who haunts a spot named Fright
Corner. Pluckley’s most famous reported haunting is that of the
Red Lady, or Lady Dering, who died in the twelfth century and is
seen in the churchyard of St Nicholas. Other haunted sites are
Rochester Castle with its thirteenth-century White Lady;
Chislehurst Caves with sounds of children's laughter, footsteps and
sightings of a woman dressed in white; and Bilsington Priory with
its hooded monks. Hever Castle, once home to Anne Boleyn, lays
claim to her spirit, and Dover Castle is a popular spot for
organised ghost hunts, where reported apparitions include a
headless child, a woman clad in red clothes and a soldier who
prowls the underground tunnels. Ghostly episodes from Canterbury
and Chatham also feature, together with Blue Bell Hill where
drivers have reported colliding with phantom pedestrians.
Illustrated throughout, ‘Paranormal Kent’ will appeal to those
interested in the supernatural and local residents who want to
discover their county’s haunted heritage. Are you brave enough to
read on?
