Ripped from the Headlines of the Past...

Chris Woodyard, author of the popular Haunted Ohio and Ghosts of the Past series, presents a new collection of all-American Victorian and Edwardian ghosts, evil entities, Fortean mysteries, and the paranormal panics and obsessions of long ago. There are apparitions of fiery devils, giant ghosts with clubs, Men and Women in Black, death omens, uncanny objects, ghostly murder victims, and ghastly phantom faces peering in windows, all resurrected from original 19th-century sources.
