Ghost Sightings is a thorough study of a subject that has
intrigued, amazed, and terrified mankind throughout history.
Ghost Sightings is a wide-ranging guide to ghostly phenomena from all
parts of the globe up to 2015. It covers cases throughout history: many
of them famous, others less well known. It examines malign spirits and
gentle ghosts, apparitions, wraiths, haunted houses, and spooky urban
myths. Each entry gives details of the date, location, and course of
events, as well as providing a historical context and analytical
assessment of the phenomenon. The book's extensive appendices provide
fascinating additional information, including the differing roles of
ghosts in the world's religions, an exploration of out-of-body and
near-death experiences, and modern theories offered to explain ghosts by
figures such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.
