Vince Wilson balances parapsychology with the modern day
"ghost-hunting fad" in this new update to his classic paranormal
book Ghost Tech Learn the history, science and all about the
technology of paranormal research. No paranormal investigator's
library is complete without it
This is the best known (i.e., the most infamous) of the witch-hunt
manuals. Written in Latin, the Malleus was first submitted to the
University of Cologne on May 9th, 1487. The title is translated as
"The Hammer of Witches." Written by James Sprenger and Henry Kramer
(of which little is known), the Malleus remained in use for three
hundred years. It had tremendous influence in the witch trials in
England and on the continent. This translation is in English and
was translated by vampire expert Montague Summers The Malleus was
used as a judicial case-book for the detection and persecution of
witches, specifying rules of evidence and the canonical procedures
by which suspected witches were tortured and put to death.
Thousands of people (primarily women) were judically murdered as a
result of the procedures described in this book, for no reason than
a strange birthmark, living alone, mental illness, cultivation of
medicinal herbs, or simply because they were falsely accused (often
for financial gain by the accuser). The Malleus serves as a
horrible warning about what happens when intolerence takes over a
society.
