A wide collection of the most well attested cases of apparitions and haunted houses collected by the Society for Psychical Research.

The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft. “Folk motifs and ghostly superstitions are scattered liberally throughout the informants’ tales, making this work a valuable comparative tool for field collectors of ghostlore.” —Folklore Forum (GoodReads) The Author:In 1934 the author participated in a series of broadcasts described as an ‘Inquiry into the unknown.’ (Stanford) Related
