When the sun slips behind the trees and shadows lengthen near dusk,
the mountains and valleys of Highlands and Cashiers whisper with
stories of lost loves, deals gone bad and ghosts who walk the
night. Learn the stories and firsthand accounts of hauntings and
the hard to explain. Is that a whisper winding through the
hemlocks, or is it just the wind?
Author Keven McQueen dissects some of Kentucky's more bizarre
aspects of death, pulled directly from the history pages. Discover
the reaper's creative side, meet the disgusting ghosts of
Louisville and find out more than you wanted to know about
old-fashioned embalming techniques. You will find it quite
engrossing...and just plain gross.
Paranormal phenomena, orbs and strange mists, true ghosts stories,
hauntings near and far, and much much more.
As the dense coastal fog rolls in to blanket the shoreline in
gloomy silence, one thing becomes very clear. Oregon is a state in
which ghosts roam. Not only here on the coast but in the lush green
inland regions as well. Oregon is the ninth largest state in the
US, and is one of contrasts from the fertile Willamette Valley with
its hundreds of wineries to its rugged coastline; from its
twenty-two feet tall Pioneer statue, known affectionately as Gold
Man, sitting atop the state capital in Salem to its ghost towns,
Oregon is a state of stark beauty, hauntings and history. Ghosts
linger for any number of reasons. Those who've stayed on in Oregon
range from millionaires who refuse to move from their mansions,
lonely cemetery inhabitants, those attached to local theaters,
saloons and hotels to ladies of the evening who made the wrong life
and death decisions. Their reasons for staying put are as varied as
there are rose bushes in the state.
Daniël Lötter soek geeste en gedaantes op, besoek spookhuise en vertel meer oor sieners en legendes wat Suid-Afrikaners reeds jare lank laat kopkrap.
Maak kennis met die heks van Hexrivier, die seemonsters van die ou Kaap en Antjie Somers. Jacoba Marais, Japie Roux en Marie van der Post is van die minder bekende sieners, maar natuurlik bly Johanna Brandt en Siener van en Rensburg nie agterweë nie.
Waarom spook 'n skoorsoekerige goewerneur, 'n koninklike kleinseun en 'n gewetenlose moordernaar ewe vlytig as Daisy de Melker, sr. Henrietta Stockdale en lady Anne Barnard? En wat is dit met dwaalligte en spookfoto's?
